What do others say about this PLD workshop?

5 Star Google Review: We did the PLD after school, which gave us quick and easy, yet meaningful ideas that link so well to critical thinking skills. As staff, we were engaged, and the choice of activities to match different age groups was appreciated, especially since we could implement them straight into our classes the next day. Bring on the creativity! Teacher, Invercargill
5 Star Google Review: Thank you for presenting at Me Ako Tonu Hui 2025. The participants rated you 5 stars, and their feedback shows they gained many ideas and activities to try out with tamariki in their kindergartens and the hands-on experience using the bricks was appreciated. Teacher, Kidsfirst Kindergartens
