About the presenter
Tricia Wellings
Hi, I’m Tricia. A mother, business entrepreneur and founder of the MBK Group.
I set up my nurseries over 24 years ago to solve some of my own childcare requirements. As our nursery business flourished, and we expanded and the staff numbers increased, I noticed that good quality, relevant training services seemed to have disappeared. So I did it again! I took matters into my own hands and in 2014, we branched out into early years training and consultancy services under the name MBK.
Our aim is to help you achieve remarkable outcomes for the children you care for, your employees and your business. Using our expertise, experience and knowledge MBK will help take your business to the next level.
What others said about this course:
I did not know much about schemas before the course but now I am full of information and I can't wait to go and observe my children and help them develop their schemas.
— TAHLIA
This course helped me clearly understand children’s schemas and how to recognise them in play. I found the practical examples and strategies very useful for planning activities that match children’s interests. It has improved my confidence in observing and supporting children’s learning.
— PARVANEH
This course supported me to understand how there is many different schemas and the importance of fostering these individually. Continuing to incorporate loose parts into the environment also helps the children to explore these many schemas they may exhibit, to support their critical thinking and physical development.
