Home Away From Home
Because early childhood focuses on education, architects and centre owners almost always create a school instead of a homely space. Kids still learn in homely spaces, and homely spaces–and furniture–better meet the needs of the children. Kimberley Crisp invented the word 'homeify' to describe the kind of makeover that improves the spaces for the babies and children in an early childhood centre. To start, she suggests you 'think' in the vocabulary of the home; not the vocabulary of a school or you'll end up with a school for short people. Think 'dining room', 'lounge', 'bedroom' instead of sleep room, 'dressing room' instead of family corner, 'reading corner' instead of library.
Kudos to all of the centres in Aotearoa New Zealand who have done the make over. So many of you have said that the difference it makes in the children's behaviour is phenomenal. That's worth going for.

This book WON’T test your mental maths or teach you countless ways to find x. It WILL show you just how fascinating maths can be.
Can maths make people rich? Can formulas predict which sports teams will win more games? Can equations explain the mysteries of the universe? The short answer to all these is YES. This book explores and explains the ways that the tools of mathematics help people make sense of the world around them, predict the future and, just maybe, how to make life itself better.

“A safe and accessible guide to raise awareness of mental health.

Parent Talk

“A super helpful book about feelings, stress, anxiety and how to look after your mental health. Discover what can influence your emotions, how to identify and navigate challenges that might affect your mental health and, most importantly, how not to be afraid to talk about mental health.”
WRD About Books Magazine

“An ideal introduction to mental health awareness for the young teen.”
Irish Times

“This timely and wise book is full of good advice without preaching or making judgments and offers a warm and sensible helping hand to youngsters who want a reliable guide to navigate them through the challenges that could affect their mental health.
