In this episode, we are joined by Jessica Holder, RECE, and Vicki Davis, RECE, to take us further into How Does Learning Happen?, and its use as a powerful tool for early childhood educators.

Not only do the HDLH? foundations (well-being, expression, belonging and engagement) guide and fuel the way we create conditions for early learning, but they also offer professional educators some powerful tools for thinking about what happens in those environments.

Vicki is currently balancing 3 jobs: working as an Early Childhood Educator, raising a family, and managing a kitchen reno!
