Big Projects for Little Learners

"What excited me most about Mikaela's book is the way she connects project-based learning—with its focus on inquiry and exploration—to the practical questions of how to bring it to life for your child or classroom. The thinking and planning required can feel daunting, but Mikaela offers countless examples and themes to get you started. Once you see how she builds a project, you’re far more likely to feel confident building your own."
—Jessica Rolph, Cofounder and CEO, Lovevery

“Today’s teachers and parents are inundated with information. They don’t need more advice—they need tools they can actually implement. And not just any tools—ones that are meaningful, child-centered, and that kids will enjoy. This book does the heavy lifting, making project-based learning approachable, doable, and genuinely joyful.”
—Elizabeth Mundt, Educator and Creator of @thekidlitmama

“Big Project for Little Learners makes project-based learning feel so doable and tangible for early childhood educators including myself. Mikaela helps you feel both empowered to do these types of projects with your students, giving you a detailed road map for multiple individual projects, but she also validates your experience as a teacher who wants to respect the interests and voice of your students.”
—Holly Hodges, Founder of Research and Play LLC.

“Mikaela has thoughtfully created an easy-to-follow guide for all teachers to use as a resource for not only the littlest of learners but for ALL learners.  As a teacher myself, I find benefit in the joyful, authentic, and student-centered approach Mikaela has laid out in her lessons as a PBL expert.”
