Storytelling for Early Learning
There is an old Scottish saying "A story should be told eye to eye, mind to mind and heart to heart" and that's just the way
we love to tell our stories to children. No books, just the children, ourselves and a story.
And we have discovered that in this intimate space, magic happens.
Storytelling scaffolds children's language and literacy skills by providing a model that is imaginative, intimate, expressive, responsive, participative and playful.
International Storytellers Lindy Mitchell-Nilsson and Ulf Nilsson provide dynamic, play-based learning experiences to early childhood audiences through themed storytelling programs that can be customised to your centre’s needs.
Each program is grounded in the Early Years Learning Framework and a detailed document is provided that outlines EYLF outcomes captured in each program, allowing you to fully document children’s learning.
Lindy and Ulf are passionate about the importance of playful, dynamic learning experiences that are only created in person, where children are actively engaged in story, song and performance, guided by their expertise and love of the art of storytelling.
