About Your Facilitator

These classes are led by Franziska Maciej (Franzi), an experienced teacher and creative play advocate. With two decades of teaching experience across Germany, the USA, and New Zealand, Franzi brings enthusiasm, joy, and a playful approach to each session. Her warm and inclusive teaching style helps children feel valued, safe, and inspired.

Comfortable clothing that can get messy, a drink bottle and snack are recommended.

Spaces are limited. This programme is supported by Creative Communities New Zealand and Coastal Taranaki School. To meet funding requirements and accommodate demand, registration is open exclusively to students enrolled at Coastal Taranaki School.

Additional Learning & Support Needs. Our program is designed to support a wide range of learners. If your child requires extra assistance, we encourage the involvement of a parent, guardian, or support person during sessions. This ensures every child can fully benefit from the experience.

To thrive in this environment, participants should:

Be able to follow simple instructions
Work independently for short periods
Have an interest in creative self-expression and exploration

If your child finds it challenging to self-regulate emotions or behaviours in group settings, please contact us to discuss whether this programme is the right fit. We’re committed to creating a positive and rewarding experience for all.

Please note this registration is for the full term.

Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Franzi at imagineplayinspire@gmail.com
