Testimonials

So vital in our world today
‘This is my second Pyjama Drama class, and I can't wait to start to use these new strategies (and frog character) with my students online and, one day, in real life. I love this focus on the social/emotional, so vital in our world today. I feel so very happy when I teach using your strategies and techniques, and your classes make me feel even more confident, excited and motivated. My students have loved every song that I have used…all the movement activities, rhymes, and the strategies really do work! I love it!!! Thank you for everything...recommend PD all the time!’ Fiona Llloyd-Moffat

I will use what I learn with the children

10/10 - would recommend
‘BEST CLASS EVER! It can be very awkward and out of your comfort zone to play pretend in front of adults, but trust me, it is FUN and you learn by doing! If you are a teacher, take this class. Practice at home. Your kids will love everything you bring back to them. I have nothing but great things to say about Pyjama Drama and the instructor, Sarah. 10/10 would recommend!!’ Cici

Highly recommend
‘PD Learning is a fantastic resource. All clearly explained by the easily watchable Sarah, who creates a steady yet still lively pace. It covers many aspects of a child's development which, in today’s society is crucial. Schools are expected to do more than just teach Maths and English etc but rather give focus and attention to a child's well-being. Programs like this make that easier....well done, I highly recommend!’ Bekki Williams

I'm so grateful
‘Practical and creative ideas that don't require specific resources that take extra time. My children are so engaged with the activities and songs. I'm so grateful to Pyjama Drama Learning for improving my teaching.’ Hannah

An incredible programme
‘Pyjama Drama has so much to offer! It is an incredible programme for children from infancy through early childhood as well as for parents and teachers. From the perspective of the teachers and early educators, the professional development training is organised, interactive, and focuses on all areas of development within children. Sarah does a wonderful job breaking down concepts for teachers, allows teachers time to work through the process, and offers great follow up to the work she presents. We are looking forward to more professional development and learning opportunities with Sarah through Pyjama Drama Learning.’ Lauren Thorne, Early Learning Educational Support Officer

I can't wait for more lessons!
‘This mini-curriculum was so extremely helpful! The ready to use ideas and lessons were great to implement the same day and watching each video took only a few minutes of time. Sarah does a great job conveying the message and I was worried I would not be as confident but I was surprised at how responsive the kids were. You don’t have to be perfect, the kids will love it! I can’t wait for more lessons!’ Erin R., Teacher
 

I have watched parents in my classroom smile...
'I have to add that I have watched parents in my classroom smile, and appear to be surprised, as they observe techniques I took away from your Pyjama Drama training. This observation allows parents to have new insights and a deeper understanding of their child's thinking and emotions. It has been great as a teacher to observe this!' Shannon Pimentel, Site Supervisor and Teacher

So valuable to teachers
'This was perfect! So valuable to teachers. Thank you for sharing the music!!! Your training has supported my offerings to students and children, adding imaginative play/songs throughout the classroom day. It has helped me offer safe ways for students to express their personalities, as they continue to develop their social and cognitive skills. Offering imaginative play has supported their learning of cooperation, decision-making skills and investigation skills!' Feedback given as part of an anonymous survey
