I've been doing a lot of reflecting recently about planning.

After 15+ years in early years, I've seen countless planning systems, curriculum approaches, trends and "must-have" methods come and go.

I've bought the curriculum packs.

I've created the topic webs.

I've filled in the planning documents.

And whilst many of them have value, I found myself asking one question:

**Are we planning for children, or are we planning for paperwork?**

Then I came across a simple sentence that stopped me in my tracks:

**"The child is the curriculum."**

And honestly?

It made me rethink everything.

Because when I look at the best learning opportunities we've provided recently, they didn't come from a pre-planned topic.

They came from children.

A transport interest became National Bicycle Day.

A fascination with movement became obstacle courses.

A need to develop mark making became road sign creation.

Everything connected because it started with the children in front of us.

Not a theme.

Not a worksheet.

Not a curriculum pack.

The child.

That reflection led me to create **Planning with Purpose** 💚

A practical planning system built around:

🌱 Children's interests

🎯 Developmental next steps

✨ Meaningful inspirations

📋 Purposeful learning opportunities

Because I've finally realised that planning doesn't need to be bigger.

It needs to be more intentional.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by planning, or questioned whether all the paperwork is actually improving outcomes for children, this resource was created with you in mind.

💚 Planning with Purpose is now available in the Little Minds shop.
