About Becci Valli
Becci Valli is a Steiner Early Childhood teacher, planner creator, and founder of Seasonal Rhythms Studio. Passionate about creating practical resources that honour the rhythms of childhood, Becci has developed this planning system through years of Steiner early childhood classroom experience and ongoing reflection on what helps keep the curriculum alive in daily practice.
“My hope is that this planner brings beauty, reflection and inspiration to the handwritten documentation process, while supporting greater clarity and organisation in the work of early childhood teachers. Above all, I hope it helps educators remain connected to the wonder, rhythm and purpose at the heart of Steiner education.”
