Nurturing Brilliance: How Play Builds Brains, Confidence, and Lifelong Learning

With Sally Haughey, Fairy Dust Teaching
Formerly titled Nurturing Brilliance Masterclass: Using Play-Activated Learning to Awaken Children’s Potential

Play isn’t “just play.” It is one of the most powerful drivers of brain development in the early years.

Join internationally recognized Early Childhood Educator and Author Sally Haughey for an engaging 90-minute masterclass exploring the neuroscience behind play-based learning. Drawing on the Play-Activated Learning™ framework from her new book Nurturing Brilliance, Sally will provide a framework for supporting children’s learning, self-regulation, creativity, and resilience.

You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of what happens inside a child’s brain during play, practical ideas you can implement immediately, and the confidence to advocate for play as the foundation of high-quality early childhood education. .
