Play as a child's first language.
Level 8 in Early Childhood Education & Care, currently studying a Level 9 postgraduate in Play Therapy, four years of leadership in childcare and a lifetime spent with children and animals — each session turns that into realistic, reassuring strategies for home and setting.
