July 17, 18, & 19
A free 3-day event for play-based educators who want to learn to make the invisible learning in play visible.
Turn "They're just playing" into clear evidence of learning - so you never have to defend your play-based approach again.
Sally has been featured on:
You're exhausted from constantly defending play.
People say, "They're just playing."
The pressure is everywhere right now to get them "ready" for kindergarten. Show the learning.
And answer the question that never seems to go away: Is play really enough?
You know it is.
You've seen it with your own eyes. But sometimes finding the words is hard. The problem isn't that the learning isn't happening. It's that no one ever taught you how to see it, name it, and claim it.
It’s time to speak about play with clarity and confidence instead of defensiveness.
What if you could look at any child playing and instantly know what children are learning?
What if you could easily explain the learning in play to parents and administrators and stop defending your teaching?
And what if you could clearly make learning visible and feel confident?
Don't worry - you don't have to keep doing this alone.
During PLAY. WONDER. LEARN, you'll learn my simple process for seeing and explaining the learning in play.
By now, it probably feels like you've tried everything.
AND Maybe you’re:
😐
Tired defending your teaching practice.
😬
Feeling pressure to "prepare" children academically.
😰
Wondering if this is even worth fighting for.
Meet the Trainer
Hi, I’m SALLY - Your EVENT TRAINER!
Sally Haughey is the founder of Wunderled and the creator of the child-led planning and observation method taught inside the Child-Led Mastery Academy.
Her authority comes from nearly three decades working directly with young children, first as a Waldorf-trained teacher and then across every kind of early childhood setting. Three decades of watching, teaching, questioning, and testing became the raw material for the method she teaches today.
Sally spent years building a way to see the academic learning hidden in ordinary play and to name it in language anyone can understand. What began as instinct in the classroom became a method other educators could learn and use.
Today that work lives at the Hummingbird Cottage, her studio and living laboratory, where she films real children at real play and walks educators through exactly what she sees. She is the author of Nurturing Brilliance, and through Wunderled she teaches educators in more than 120 countries to trust their own eyes, defend the power of play, and make the invisible learning visible.

A life-changing framework.
Every educator knows the learning in play is real. Almost none of us were given the words to prove it.
This framework gives you the words.
It rests on a simple idea most systems have forgotten. Play is not a break from the curriculum. Play is the curriculum. And there is research to back that up.
You will learn a way of watching. Three lenses called Head, Heart, and Hands. Once you know what each one is looking for, you cannot unsee it.
Then you will learn to name that work. Seven domains of learning are hiding inside ordinary play.
The Sessions
