Let Me Introduce Myself
I'm Miss Sue
I am an early childhood educator, course creator, author, and speaker, working directly with young children since 2009.
I am the founder of Edulallie® and the owner of Lil Bebe Academy, a home-based childcare program that serves as my lab school—an intentional, nature-rich environment where the ideas I teach are lived and practiced with children every day.
I am also the co-author of Seeing Ourselves in Nature and the author of Overcoming Daycare Burnout: Steps to Living Your Best Life. My experience as both an educator and author continue to shape my work around intentional environments, nature-based learning, and educator well-being.
Every course, field guide, and professional development experience within Edulallie is grounded in lived experience—not theory alone. It grows from real days with children, real challenges, careful observation, and the small changes that can transform both our environments and our experience as educators.
Edulallie was created from that belief: small steps can lead to beautiful transformation.
Whether you are rethinking your environment, seeking a more sustainable rhythm, bringing more nature into your practice, or simply looking for a different way forward, you belong here.

Your Space is Enough: Transforming Your Home Childcare Indoors & Outdoors
This is a real-life transformation experience within a successful home-based childcare program.
You will step inside my home childcare and outdoor classroom. You will see firsthand how I transformed my space over the years into a calmer, more intentional, nature-rich environment that supports both children and the educator.
Together, we will walk room by room through the indoor classroom, discussing:
Why the environment is arranged the way it is
How I choose materials, books, and visual supports
What supports mixed-age learning and independent play
How I reduced overwhelm and created more flow throughout the day
The difference between cluttered spaces and intentional spaces
How small changes transformed behavior, engagement, and daily rhythms
Then we will move outside into the outdoor classroom and garden spaces, where we will explore:
Outdoor learning as curriculum—not just recess or playtime
Mud kitchens, loose parts, gardening, pollinator spaces, and nature invitations
How to create wonder using simple materials
Ways to support child-led learning outdoors
How the outdoor environment can reduce stress and bring more joy back into your days
How I built an outdoor classroom slowly over time without needing perfection or a huge budget
This workshop is for home childcare providers, home educators, and early years professionals longing for calmer spaces, deeper play, more connection, and a renewed vision for their environment. Or for anyone eager to open their own home childcare and unsure where to start.
Each participant will also receive a pollinator garden gift to take home and begin building their own outdoor classroom habitat.
You will leave with:
Inspiration
Practical ideas you can actually implement
A new way of seeing your space
Permission to start small
A clearer vision for what transformation can look like in your own environment
Because transformations do not happen overnight - they happen one intentional shift at a time.
“Small Steps — Beautiful Transformation” — Miss Sue

Limited Spots Available
This intimate workshop will take place inside my active home childcare environment in DuPage County, Illinois.
To preserve the hands-on experience and allow space for meaningful discussion, reflection, and movement throughout the environment, attendance is intentionally limited to a small group of educators.
Because of the limited seating and preparation involved for each attendee, full payment is required to reserve your spot.
A Professional Development Certificate will be given at the end of the session
2027 In-Person Workshops
Upcoming Dates will be published for 2027
Join me for an in-person workshop designed to help educators reimagine their spaces through the lens of the Edulallie Framework. Together, we will explore how simple environmental shifts, outdoor learning, and intentional design can create calmer rhythms, deeper engagement, and more meaningful learning for young children 0-5.
Each workshop offers practical ideas, real examples from my home childcare, and time for reflection and planning so you can begin transforming your own environment with confidence and ease.
