you make a difference  

in your child’s life 

The difference starts with you

The Difference Starts With You

Welcome

It’s great to finally say “Hello” and to let you know that we are guiding a very special kind of individual: whether it be a carer, parent or grandparent – it’s the kind of individual who wants to make a real difference in the life of a child and to the life of our planet. 

Not the-dip-your-toe in kind of kind of individual,  But the-jump-in-with-booth-feet-boots-and-all kind of individual! If that’s your vibe, Join our tribe. Check out and meet the team.

I hope you will join me in this unique community where very young children fall in love with reading and their natural environment and experience a full and productive childhood.  Baby Bear’s Chair is so much more than a chair. It is a place. It is the place at your table; the place around the fire ; the place in your heart and within your family. It is the place where children and adults exercise their powers are place-makers; problem solvers and cooperative human beings. 

I hope you can feel the love that goes into every single thing at Baby Bear’s Chair.

With love from my place to yours,

Alison xoxo

TESTIMONIALS


Alison encouraged us passionately to reconnect with nature and how we can influence young children in our care to nurture a deeper connection to the natural world. I loved the Elm Dance. The entire workshop was a feast for the senses – ears, eyes, body and mind – it was incredible. It was inspiring and thought provoking. Alison opens up pathways in your brain that have been shut down or inactive – you can literally feel it responding!!

– Colleen  

Igniting a sense of Wonder is integral to be able to imagine compassion, kindness and make a connection with ALL living things. I loved the authenticlove and passion that oozes from Alison. I loved it! Everyone needs to be reminded. Alison is a breath of fresh air that makes my leaves dance. 

– Leanne

I learned how impactful; we as early childhood educators are in our little people’s lives. From the workshop I got a new/renewed appreciation of thelocal natural environment where I have lived and grew up (Southside Cairns). Thank you for inspiring me to return back to studying.
