The Step-by-Step System for Building a Purposeful Play-Based Learning Routine in Your Classroom

Does this sound like you?

You believe in the power of play, but you’re feeling stuck between what’s best for kids and what’s expected of you.

overwhelmed

You notice conflicting ideas around play-based learning.

You feel the pressure to prove that your students are meeting goals.

You’re trying to make it all fit and it’s leaving you burnt out.

under-resourced

You’re too busy to read stacks of teacher books or dig into research on play-based learning.

Your admin and families don’t value playful learning because they don’t understand it.

You don’t have a play-focused mentor to problem-solve with.

unsure

You’re not confident on how to make play work in a practical way.

You’re uncertain about your role as the teacher in a play-based classroom.

You’re wondering how to teach into play, so it’s purposeful.

 

You’re not doing anything wrong. You just need a system that works.

that's where the
play workshop course comes in!

As a public school teacher, I believe in a practical approach to purposeful play.  No overhauling your entire classroom.  No buying all new materials.

Whether you’re brand new to play-based learning or ready to level up, Play Workshop will meet you where you are.

Ashley R. (Pre-K Teacher - Georgia)

“As a fellow Pre-K teacher, Amber is my go-to for all things play-based learning. Her Play Workshop course had everything I needed to get started with organized and purposeful play in my own Pre-K classroom. I can’t recommend it enough!”

katie f. (4K Teacher - wisconsin)

“The Play Workshop course helped me understand the basics, make a plan to get started, and work around potential hurdles, like a tiny classroom and limited resources.  I highly recommend this course to any teacher looking to bring more play into their day!”

Frequently Asked Questions

If you don’t see the answer to your question here, send an email to Amber@creamcityteacher.com and I’ll get back to you!

The course is designed for early childhood (Pre-K, TK, 4K, and Kindergarten) teachers who want to prioritize play without losing sight of academic expectations.  Whether you’re just starting out or ready to refine your approach, this course will meet you where you are.

The lessons under “The Basics” and “Before Kids Arrive” modules were made especially for you!
 
While creating the Play Workshop course, I asked myself this question: “What do I wish I knew when I started as a 4K teacher?”
 
Let’s set you up for success, so you don’t struggle like I did.

After years of teaching through play, I’ve learned methods for leveling up Play Workshop . . . and I’m sharing it all with you!

Think of me like your teacher bestie down the hall when you need to problem-solve and want fresh ideas.

You don’t need a Pinterest-perfect classroom or brand-new materials.  The Play Workshop course shows you how to use the space, time, and resources you already have to build a routine that works.

Nope!  While you’ll get practical tips for organizing your space, this course goes beyond classroom setup.  You’ll learn how to build a daily routine, teach a kid-focused system, foster independence, and document learning through play.

Absolutely yes.  Play Workshop is all about purposeful play.  You’ll learn how to connect student-led exploration to learning goals so that you can feel confident advocating for your play-based approach.

The pre-recorded modules allow you to learn at a pace that feels right for you . . . and at a time and place that work best for you.

The entire course can be completed from beginning to end in 7 hours (or even less if you use a video speed controller, like I do).

Your one-time fee gives you lifetime access to the course, including any updates and additions.

Your enrollment will immediately trigger a series of exclusive emails that are meant to provide you with accountability and support.
 
You’ll also be able to ask questions and get prompt feedback directly from me via a built-in Q&A system.

At the end of the day, it’s as simple as this:

  • 1) Invest in the course.
  • 2) Watch the modules.
  • 3) Ask questions (and receive prompt responses).
  • 4) Launch and level up Play Workshop in your classroom.

Upon your requested, I’m happy to send you a certificate of completion.

For sure!  When you check out, you’ll receive a digital receipt (via email) that can be submitted for reimbursement.  If your school needs an invoice, just reach out.
