Choose one of these two options.
Option 1: Playful Minds, Powerful Learning – 6 hrs – Tickets below
9:00-3:30 – Facilitators: Abigail Black & Mavie Leon-Diaz
Play is not a break from learning, it IS learning. In this interactive six-hour training, early childhood educators will explore the critical role of play in children’s development across all domains. Participants will examine the benefits of play, reflect on their own play personalities, and deepen their understanding of foundational play theories.
Together, participants will explore how indoor and outdoor environments influence play, how educators can intentionally design deep rich play experiences, and how to protect play in an increasingly academic-driven world. Participants will leave with strategies to embed play in their classrooms and a deeper understanding of why play is essential to healthy development.
Option 2: Leading From Behind: Nurturing Children’s Curiosity – 6 hrs – Tickets below
9:00-3:30 – Facilitator: Sarah Bonifer & Jennifer Pruitt
How do we follow the children’s lead in providing meaningful and playful opportunities to stimulate their natural curiosity and learning? Join us for a day of exploration and hands-on experiences where we really dive into allowing the curriculum to emerge from children’s interests and ideas. Allow the children to BE the curriculum and the leaders in the classroom! We will think about how these types of activities can develop literacy, math, science, and creative expression. Take it outdoors and allow children to take healthy risks in their big body play by following their lead.
