A New Approach
A UNIQUE CURATION OF ENVIRONMENT:
OPEN-ENDED MATERIALS FOR PROACTIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING
Vanessa's work leans into the reactive feelings children naturally display when disappointed or frustrated. Material invitations and intentional language encourages opportunities for public speaking, turn-taking, self expression, flexibility, sharing, and perspective considerations.
Vanessa welcomes the hard work of making mistakes.
Whether managing social anxiety, anticipation, rigidity, or disappointment, Vanessa's patient, choice-making, loose parts approach, propels community attentiveness through celebrating what children do with their hands, hearts, and voices. As children find solutions to pre-set open-ended tools, they face intentional social invitations of conflict and guided resolution.
"We want things to go wrong,
so children can practice how to make it right."
