Sofia Hartley
Little Explorers · Teacher
Sofia turns the wildest toddler emotions into words. Her story circles are legendary — puppets argue, children vote on endings, and everyone practises the brave art of waiting for a turn.
"Feelings are visitors. We welcome them, name them, and wave them goodbye together."
Classroom magic
Feelings cards, calm-corner tents, and a "kindness tree" where good deeds grow leaves.
Fun fact
Sofia voices all seven puppets in the story basket — the grumpy badger is a firm favourite.
