Meet Jennifer Hood ―
your playground BFF!

Hey, I’m Jennifer and over the past 10 years, I have been speaking at elementary schools, preschools, ECE workshops and PAC meetings and then ― BAM! ―COVID-19.

Suddenly, I couldn’t meet in person to deliver workshops and seminars.

During this time, many schools were forced to rethink how they taught classes and many chose to install new playground equipment so their classes could spend more time outside.

An educator from Ontario, Canada, reached out and asked me to put together a training video. He was looking to put together some basic skills progressions for teachers to support students on their new playground structure. It was this simple request that was the gentle nudge I needed to turn the workshop I have been hosting in-person for years into this online course.
