A warm, research-grounded voice for your early-childhood event
Anna Camille Hampton brings 30+ years and a Reggio Emilia practice to conference stages and professional-development days — translating big ideas into practice educators can use the very next morning.
What I speak on
Talks & workshop topics
Every session is shaped to your audience — choose a topic below, or tell us your theme.
The Reggio Emilia approach in the U.S. classroom
How an Italian philosophy of the 'image of the child' translates into American early-childhood settings — and what it asks of teachers.
Play schemas: reading what children are really doing
Trajectory, transporting, enclosure and more — decoding repeated play so educators can extend, not interrupt, children's thinking.
Loose parts & the prepared environment
Designing rooms and materials that invite open-ended exploration, creativity and problem-solving across ages 2–6.
Multiple intelligences in practice
Gardner's framework as a practical lens for planning, observation and honoring the many ways young children come to know.
Constructivist & emergent curriculum
From Piaget and Vygotsky to the daily flow of a classroom — building learning around children's questions, not a themed calendar.
Documentation & reflective practice
Making children's learning visible, and helping teaching teams grow through observation, dialogue and reflection.
