Storytelling for Early Learning
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.
Storytelling stimulates children’s imaginations and allows them to express their creativity while learning.
