Play Before Pencils

I am devouring these episodes! They are providing a really clear, balanced and research-based view into play-based education. You gracefully advocate for best practice, while leaving so much room for growth on the listeners behalf. The play-based education online community can sometimes miss the mark while advocating for children - it can be a bit hierarchical or over-zealous at times without really educating those who they’re trying to teach. This podcast is a true bridge for educators transitioning to play-based programs or parents looking for sound resources. Also, it’s just well-organized and edited, which I really appreciate. It’s a smooth listen for my easily distracted brain. Great job!

I knew by following the instagram account that this podcast would be a jewel, but it is even better than I had imagined. So many times a radical approach is given with so many “shock value” claims. This podcast is reasonable and reflective. Thank you for speaking directly to play based preschool owners insecurities and giving the reassurance of a thoughtful research backed episodes.
