The heart of C&K Slade Point Community Kindergarten is a vibrant puppet named Edgar, who is doing more than just entertaining; he’s transforming lives. Edgar began as a simple tool to support emotional regulation. But what followed was nothing short of extraordinary. With his bright colours and gentle presence, Edgar quickly became a beloved "teacher" among children, easing transitions, sparking joy, and fostering kindness.
🏆A big round of applause for Natalie McDougall from C&K Slade Point Community Kindergarten, the Winc Education Playful Pedagogy Award winner! Natalie won this award for the extraordinary introduction of Edgar. Read more about the award here.
From calming anxious little ones to encouraging heartfelt acts of compassion through “Edgar’s Kindness Wall,” Edgar’s impact ripples through every corner of the kindergarten. His ability to connect with children has inspired a deeper partnership between early childhood and primary educators, helping to create smoother transitions and shared teaching practices.
