To maximize academic gains in many schools, play in early education is being pushed out or greatly reduced. However, research increasingly recognizes that a balance that includes purposeful play is vital for developing strong social-emotional skills in the early childhood years. The focus of this training will be to discuss the importance of play for social-emotional development and discover practical, age-appropriate strategies, materials, and creative opportunities you can easily incorporate into your center.
This workshop is free thanks to the generous sponsorship by the Jefferson County Regional Collaborative through a grant from the Governor’s Office of Early Childhood.
