Look around your program: Is the environment conducive to exploration, sparking creativity, and meeting the group and individual needs of the children? Learning environments are paramount for young children as they are dynamic, interactive spaces pivotal in their holistic development.
Great spaces for infants, toddlers, and preschool-age children don’t have to be glitzy or polished. Rather, they should offer diverse opportunities and resources tailored to various learning styles, allowing children to explore, discover, and engage in hands-on experiences alone and in small and larger groups. Your classroom can be shaped to allow children to explore broadly or dive into deep, immersive play. With intention and ingenuity, you can develop any safe space to facilitate cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development and provide a well-rounded approach to education.
This webinar, presented by Jacky Howell, MA will inspire you to think of your program’s learning spaces as not merely environments for instruction but integral components of a child’s developmental and educational journey. You will learn the foundation for creating spaces that offer a rich tapestry of experiences that contribute to their growth and readiness for future learning. Join Jacky to transform children’s experiences through intentionally designed learning centers. You will leave the session equipped with the tools and knowledge to create inspiring and effective learning environments for young minds.
In this insightful webinar, you will:
- Develop deeper insight into the concept and purpose of learning centers, unraveling their role in creating dynamic and interactive environments.
- Explore strategies for creating and setting up learning centers to ensure alignment with educational goals and developmental milestones and encourage active participation and exploration.
