ECET is delighted to offer a unique professional learning opportunity for our members and the wider early years community.

Join us for an afternoon visit to The Friends' School Kindergarten & Prep Learning Areas on Thursday, 26 June 2025 from 3:45 PM – 5:30 PM. This special event includes a guided exploration of their inspiring early years environments, the chance to meet and connect with educators, and a presentation from Fiona Zinn, Deputy Head of Primary (Early Learning to Year 1) and internationally recognised pedagogical leader.

Fiona will share insights into how Friends Early Learning weaves together the Early Years Learning Framework, the Reggio Emilia Approach, and the IB Primary Years Programme to create a meaningful, connected learning community. This is a rare opportunity to engage with cutting-edge pedagogy that centres children as competent, capable learners and positions educators as researchers.
