My daughter thrived in Abigail’s grade 1 class. She is the teacher that encouraged independence and imagination all within the space of her classroom.

Kelly

Abby has always had the teacher heart. From an early age she would recruit the neighbourhood children to put on plays, play dress up, outdoor games - you name it. She has always expressed the importance of imagination and the heart of the child, playfulness.

Nancy

What I love most about The Playful Child is that it provides the type of experience that I wish I could set up for my kids at home, but our busy schedules make it difficult. Seeing my children explore new interests and take those discoveries home with them has been an amazing experience.

Lauren

Abby has always taken the most sincere care when it comes to small children. She is always the teacher friend who has the soul of child in mind. She see’s all children as inherently good!

Shannon

It is not often that you encounter a kind, professional, and extremely knowledgeable educator that is filled with tremendous love and respect toward children, families, and educators. It is evident that Susan's expertise in all areas of early childhood education, including play, inquiry-based learning, and making children's learning visible, has made her an exemplary knowledgeable leader in Early Childhood Education.

Paola

Susan adopts an active listening role to understand how children feel validated and loved. Her approach allows the child to flow into a new version of themself by providing the space and opportunity needed to authentically explore.

Jill

I had heard about play-based learning but never knew how much learning could come from it. The girls visited The Playful Child, and it was as if they were given the stage to show what they knew in their own way.

Carolina

Susan is the most talented and passionate person I know. She has always been the child whisperer. Susan continues to enhance her knowledge for the purpose of sharing it with others. Child development is complex. When you know this as Susan does, you, too, can better interpret the needs of any child.
