Early childhood teacher turned play parenting coach.
Homeschooling mama of four.
And the heart behind Stories of Play
Here at Stories of Play, I help parents nurture their child’s creativity, confidence, and love for learning through play, connection and curiosity.
Because learning doesn’t just happen when we plan for it.
It happens in the everyday moments, in the small discoveries, and in the magic of play that unfolds naturally.
There’s so much joy and freedom in knowing your child is learning as they play, even without you preparing or orchestrating it.
And my heart is for you to experience this in your own home.
hey, I'm Jules! 👋
I started Stories of Play in 2016, when my firstborn was six months old and I was deep in the stay-at-home mum season, the one that’s equal parts love and loneliness.
What began as a small creative outlet soon became a space for parents who wanted something different.
Less pressure. More play.
Less doing. More being.
Over time, Stories of Play grew into a community of intentional parents who value curiosity, connection, and authentic learning through play and everyday life.
Now, through The Authentic Learning Experience (TALE), I get to support hundreds of families around the world in creating homes where play and learning flow naturally.
How It All Began
It’s how they learn, build confidence, and make sense of the world around them.
We believe in slowing down.
In protecting childhood wonder.
In saying yes to curiosity and no to pressure.
And in creating a home where our children thrive in every way.
What We Believe
Resources, stories, and support to help you:
✨ Create a home where play and learning happen naturally
✨ Raise creative, confident, curious kids
✨ Build strong family connection in the everyday moments
Because when we make space for play, curiosity, and connection, learning follows naturally.
Thank you for being here.
Can’t wait to continue our play journey together!
