Testimonials

You're in safe hands

"An incredible support consultant"

Joshua Ops Manager

Elise/U.Me Play has been an incredible support as a consultant across our early learning services. Elise develops a quick and professional rapport with all educators enabling a deep level of critical reflection to occur and changes to practice to flow through from this. Through this work we have been able to see “big picture” ideas from our QIP come to life and educators of different experience/qualification levels all engage in a shared learning journey with children truly at the centre

“The course was fantastic!"

CoS Parent

“The course was fantastic! It made such a complex topic so simple and easy to understand. I liked how Elise didn’t ever tell people what exactly to say to their kids. instead, she helped people dive deeper and discover their authentic self when it came to parenting…and most importantly, their ‘why’!!

Starting Daycare Support

Sam - Parent

Elise was so helpful in supporting us around daycare for our daughter. She discussed strategies to assist with drop off, how to get the most out of tours of centres and the standard of care to expect. She gave tailored advice for our daughter and her attachment style. She was kind, caring and supportive and I would seek her assistance again in the future. Thank you so much Elise!

Behaviour Support

Sarah

I recently had a behaviour support consultation with Elise and I couldn’t be happier with the support that I received. I wish that I had booked the consultation long before I did. Elise is an amazing listener and was so encouraging. She provided us with some helpful strategies that align with my beliefs about parenting. Elise provided a detailed follow up email which included resources to help implement the strategies she suggested. The strategies Elise provided have drastically improved my son’s behaviour and has brought a lot of calm to our household.
