Slow Is a Pedagogy - Reclaiming Time, Trust, and Presence in Early Childhood Education

Dec. 10, 2025 | 1:00 pm ET

Speed has become the default setting in many early childhood spaces - rushing children through routines, pushing toward readiness, and measuring outcomes over experiences. But real learning is not fast. It is relational, rhythmic, and deeply rooted in connection. This session invites educators and leaders to explore slow pedagogy as both a mindset and a practice. We’ll examine how slowing down supports children’s meaningful learning, emotional wellness, and deep curiosity, and how it protects the humanity of the adults who care for them. Through real examples and reflective prompts, we’ll explore what it looks like to value depth over speed, connection over control, and presence over performance. Featuring guest presenter, Amy Chui.
