The Playful Practice Podcast

The Playful Practice Podcast brings together Sally Galloway, Dr Laura Burritt and Katelyn McArthur for honest, evidence-informed conversations about play and its place at the heart of early childhood education and care.

Drawing on experience in occupational therapy, early childhood education, research and play therapy, we connect research with the everyday realities of working alongside children.

Together with guest researchers, clinicians and sector leaders, we explore different perspectives, ask thoughtful questions and reflect on what it means to make space for play in everyday practice.

For educators, teachers and leaders who want to deepen their understanding, feel confident advocating for play and keep children’s experiences at the centre of their work.

Because when we protect play, we protect childhood.
