Pocket of Preschool Professional Development

Pocket of Preschool delivers practical, classroom-tested professional development designed specifically for early childhood educators working with children aged 3–6. Created by Jackie Kops, a veteran preschool teacher, the PD offerings draw on years of hands-on experience to address the real challenges educators face in planning, implementing, and assessing play-based learning environments. The professional development covers essential topics including centre setup and organisation, intentional teaching strategies, documentation and assessment practices, and creating engaging learning experiences that align with early childhood frameworks. What distinguishes Pocket of Preschool's approach is its emphasis on actionable strategies that educators can implement immediately in their classrooms. Rather than abstract theory, the training provides concrete examples, templates, and step-by-step guidance drawn directly from a working preschool classroom. Participants gain access to resources that streamline planning and enhance the quality of their teaching practice.
