What a great podcast! We’re so lucky in Scotland to have had the inspirational support of Prof Tina Bruce to develop our Froebelian practice! @FroebelTrust @FalkirkFroebel @Ifsfroebel @FroebelFriends
🎙️The Learning Conversations podcast is now live! In this episode Chief Exec Gillian Hamilton discusses Froebelian practice with Professor Tina Bruce CBE. Froebel’s work and writing changed the way we think about and value early childhood. 👉ow.ly/LrH850V7OAx
