“We think Emily is brilliant and we can't thank her enough for the sessions she has planned for us to date. She is absolutely fantastic with the children and such a great asset to ZooLab. Emily is hugely knowledgeable, communicates brilliantly and is always reliable. The sessions are fun, engaging, age-appropriate and informative for the children we care for at our setting, and the way in which pupils talk about the sessions for the weeks following each one just proves how much of a positive impact they have on them."

Why learn through storytelling?
Using storytelling as a teaching mechanism involves structuring learning around a narrative. It helps children (and adults) make sense of issues and topics by engaging them in a story, making facts easier to remember and participants more open to learning.
The benefits of learning through storytelling do not stop at increasing knowledge of the subject area - storytelling encourages creativity, expands vocabulary, increases attention span and helps to reinforce morals.
