Nourishing Schema’s is a two day programme that demystifies schemas and helps practitioners to see how to plan for and support children’s interests. It builds on the work of Chris Athey, Tina Bruce and Cathy Nutbrown.
• Recognise and understand schema development • Carry out action research
• Nourish schemas through the enabling environment and positive relationships • Share learning with your team and with parents
 
“As they move around, exploring their ideas babies and toddlers can be observed to be frequently exploring a particular pattern of thought and movement such as in and out, transporting or rotation, exhibiting an underlying logic in their play. Play that appears idiosyncratic or even mischievous can also give clues to children’s schematic preoccupations” Julia Manning-Morton and Maggie Thorpe
