Dear worldwide #Froebel community, @marcellatowler.bsky.social and I have been talking about the idea of creating monthly informal meetings in which we could talk about new Froebel articles and books, share ideas, or just talk about our work regarding Froebel. The idea is to make it very informal

A really helpful article from @helwasmuth.bsky.social discussing a new translation of a letter from #Froebel with comments on the spherical law and the purpose of early childhood education. As always with Froebel, not an easy read, but for those interested in his writing, very illuminating.

I'm pulling together a starter pack of people working in ELC in Scotland. Please do ask to be added. I'm sure I've missed lots of people. go.bsky.app/3jNU3oh

Lovely afternoon tea with my former headteacher colleagues. Prestonfield House is looking gorgeous.

This month marks a year since I began therapy for an eating disorder. I finished in summer & it’s been successful so far. I’m happy, healthy & grateful I asked for help. We often don’t talk about disordered eating in men & boys but it’s common. It can be beat, even if you think it can’t.

Great to see this opportunity for heads in early learning and childcare to develop their leadership skills. #Beingme #earlyyears
