In this episode, Aoife and Jenny dive into the UN’s new International Day of Play and why it’s more than just a celebration. They discuss play as a fundamental right, not a luxury, and explore why it's still being overlooked around the world. While applauding the UN for spotlighting play, they also ask the big question: why do we even need a day to remind the world? Join them as they unpack what play truly means for childhood, development, and global equality.

In this week’s episode, Jenny chats with Aoife about her recent experience touring a preschool for her little boy, Theo. Aoife shares what the visit was really like — from first impressions and key questions to those gut feelings that are hard to ignore.

They talk through the emotional side of preparing for this next big step, what stood out (both good and not-so-good), and whether Theo was offered a spot. It’s a real and relatable look at one of parenting’s big early decisions.

If you’re thinking about preschool for your child, or just want to hear how another parent navigated the process, this one’s for you!
