About
Hello and welcome to Joys of Childhood
My name is Rahela. I am an Early Childhood Educator, holding a postgraduate degree in Early Childhood Education, with almost two decades of experience working with thousands of children in nature-inspired and ecological early years settings.
Joys of Childhood was born out of my desire to see happy, resilient, cheerful children who believe in themselves, explore their environment, make their own choices, use their imagination and creative thinking ability to solve any problem, and be the masters of their own learning through play.
Each of us has moments from our childhood that are memorable. My passion is to create joyful memories for children and parents, allowing them to enjoy these precious moments that they can fondly cherish throughout their lives.
I love to inspire families to make more of these moments for their children. During my play sessions, I facilitate a wide variety of real-life and open-ended materials to pique your child’s curiosity, letting him/her engage in authentic materials (instead of toys), and constantly using nature as an inspiration.
When I am not running the Joys of Childhood sessions, I am busy hand-crafting natural and safe resources for the little ones to play with – from plant-based sensory playdough to collecting natural materials, creating invitations to play with – designed by repurposing recycled materials to inspire, promote and build love and care for nature in every possible way.
Have a look around our website and do get in touch with me.

DISCOVER OUR PLAY SESSIONS
Are you looking for play-sessions with a difference?
We unlock your child’s natural curiosity.
We provide unique and tailor-made play sessions for each child.
Your child is an inquisitive learner who wants to explore his/her surroundings and figure out how things work. Joys of Childhood play sessions fuel this enthusiasm by providing your child with engaging materials and tools through which they can develop new skills while having a wonderful time. What is the best part? It is all done in a relaxed environment, through active play and non-stop enjoyment.
These skills are something we all work on for life. So, join us on this journey, and let us empower your child to find unique joy.
Nature is at the core of everything we do, and we incorporate the natural world into activities that develop your child’s motor skills, coordination, imagination, and creative thinking ability.
Key elements of our play sessions
Joys of Childhood play sessions are full of child-led fun and include different interactive hands-on and brains-on activities using a selection of natural resources along with your child’s curiosity, imagination, and sense of creativity. We inspire your child’s play by bringing tools, clay, salt, sensory dough, open-ended materials, loose parts, recycled materials, cardboard boxes, wood, paint, pretend animals, water, sand, and many more nature-based sensory play tools to your home. We meet twice a week to connect with the little ones for meaningful play and to form friends. Each play session includes a personalized home visit for a small group of children (4 – 5 children per group).
Our sessions consist of:
- Nature-based sensory exploration time
- Creating Art using Nature’s cart
- Little Adventurer’s curiosity time (using authentic real-life materials – NO TOYS)
- Action rhymes & story times
- Music and movement time
- Fun and games using recycled materials
Bonus
- All materials along with the personalized record of activities during the sessions
- One adult can learn and see how to organize these activities throughout the week
Age
Our sessions are designed for babies and toddlers from the ages of 10 months to 3 years.
