Educator Workshops for Early Years and Primary School Professionals
Supporting children through change starts with supporting the adults around them.
Our Travel the Yellow Brick Road workshops are designed to help educators better understand how children experience transition, big emotions, and change — while building practical strategies that can be used immediately in educational settings.
Created by experienced clinical psychologists and facilitators, these workshops combine emotional regulation, attachment-informed practice, and practical classroom strategies in a way that feels approachable, engaging, and highly relevant to educators working with children and families every day.
Whether you work in early childhood or primary school settings, the workshops provide a deeper understanding of children’s emotional responses, behaviour, resilience, and regulation during periods of transition and uncertainty.
