Engaging children in a deep joy for learning that nurtures curious minds and kind hearts Education
13/05/2026
We are incredibly privileged to have Tilly’s pedagogical knowledge, passion, and warmth at The Learning Space. As our Assistant Manager and Educational Leader, Tilly nurtures and uplifts pedagogy and practice with deep care, authenticity, and intention.
Her relationships with children, families, and educators are deeply valued, and her wisdom in pedagogy and inquiry-based learning continues to inspire our practice every day. Tilly brings thoughtfulness, reflection, joy, and heart into all that she does.
“Walking down the street I grew up in as a disillusioned nursing student, I heard the infectious sounds of joy and wonder coming from the local childcare and felt like it was somewhere I wanted to be! 15 years of working and studying in the profession and I am so proud to be educational leader of a centre which matches my philosophy and understanding of children, how they learn and the importance of building a love of learning which will become the base for a lifetime of knowledge hunting.”
“My practice and interactions are guided by a deep belief in the value of every individual, and in the idea that when people come together openly, honestly, and respectfully, meaningful change and growth are possible. This is one of the reasons I feel so connected to inquiry-based learning, as it creates opportunities for educators and children to think collaboratively, ask meaningful questions, and build understandings that are genuinely connected to children’s ideas, experiences, and development.”
“I believe it is a privilege to live and work on Country that holds the knowledge, stories, and traditions of the world’s oldest continuing culture. As a white Australian, I believe it is important to engage honestly with our country’s history, including the harm caused by racism and colonisation, so we can learn from the past and work towards a more just and respectful future. I am committed to honouring and celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and to supporting future generations to recognise the beauty, connection, and wisdom embedded within these knowledge systems.”
What a privilege to be part of this time in children’s lives!”
An Invitation to Play
As educators, we are always asking ourselves, ‘What is this environment inviting the child to do?’
An invitation to play is more than simply setting up a space with materials. It’s about creating possibility. We thoughtfully design experiences that spark curiosity without prescribing outcomes because an invitation is just that, an invitation, not a direction.
These experiences are open-ended and non-prescriptive. They don’t tell children what to do, but instead open up opportunities to think, imagine, problem-solve, and express themselves in their own unique ways. There is no “right” way to engage. Children are offered the time, space, and materials to explore their own ideas, test theories, and revisit their learning.
Through this, children become active participants in their learning. They make choices, return to ideas, and build their own understandings of the world around them.
When we thoughtfully design these invitations, we are showing the children we believe:��You are capable. Your ideas matter. This space is for you.
