SUMMARY:Curiosity and Wonder of Heuristic Play and Treasure Baskets: Infant and Toddler Play Explorations
DESCRIPTION:Curiosity and Wonder of Heuristic Play and Treasure Baskets: Infant and Toddler Play Explorations \nInfants and Toddles explore the world around them with awe and wonder. They explore with a zest for curiosity and exploration. They deserve an environment that supports this natural process of learning. They deserve Play! Creating responsive environments for infants and toddlers is slightly different then how we would create a responsive environment for older children. We need to take into consideration their physical\, sensory and neurological needs. One of the most impactful way of supporting infants and toddlers in their play explorations is through heuristic play and treasure baskets! This approach creates hands-on\, self-directed play experiences for children to dive deep into their own learning process. Let’s discuss what heuristic play is and how we can create treasure baskets and sensory experiences that are meaningful and relevant for our young learners. Participants will develop an awareness of this approach to play and engage in reflective practices and discussions about how they can make children’s learning visible. Go beyond a basic infant toddler space and create a space of magic\, wonder and inspiration! \nObjectives: \n\nIdentify the Importance of Play for Infants and Toddlers\nHeuristic Play Approach\nCreating Treasure Baskets\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nPD funding available to eligible participants.\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop.

SUMMARY:Rocks and Sticks and Wonderful Things! Creative Outdoor Play Experiences for Young Children
DESCRIPTION:Rocks and Sticks and Wonderful Things! Creative Outdoor Play Experiences for Young Children \nLet’s Get Outside and Play! We just don’t seem to hear or see that too much anymore. What happened to connecting with the world around us in a hands-on way\, instead of looking at it on a screen? Do you know the names of local flora and fauna? Can you identify a variety of insects? Have you ever built rock towers or dragged a huge branch around? Let’s go back to our roots and help children connect with the outdoor world around them. Together we will identify the importance of being outside\, how it stimulates growth and learning\, and how it’s the natural playscape of early childhood. Let’s get children connected to the natural world\, discover safety in our communities and develop a sense of curiosity and respect for our Earth and each other. \nObjectives: \n\nUnderstanding the Importance of Outdoor Play\nCreating a Responsive Outdoor Play Environment\nPlanning for the Seasons\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nPD funding available to eligible participants.\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop.

SUMMARY:Active Listening: Surviving Difficult Conversations with Positive Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:Active Listening: Surviving Difficult Conversations with Positive Outcomes \nConflict. Disagreements. Tension. People. Adults. A common communication barrier for many early childhood educators is how to address conflict in the workplace\, between co-workers and with families. This is not an easy task and takes time\, intentionality and practice. Effective communication is key to developing a positive workplace culture and working with families. A major component to effective communication stems from your own ability to engage in active listening. To learn the skills of how to listen to learn\, instead of listening to respond. As early childhood educators face conflicts with other adults\, active listening skills become an essential part of building a safe space that fosters positive relationships between adults that care for young children. Join us as we discuss some of the most common conflicts early childhood educators have with other adults and how to overcome these obstacles with active listening skills. Adopt strategies that take your communication skills to the next level\, and set you on the pathway of success. Reaching positive outcomes in conflict may not always be easy but it is possible when we have the right tools. \nObjectives: \n\nReflect on current communication strategies and obstacles\nDiscover how active listening improves communication with families and workplace culture\nIdentify specific strategies to use during conflict to result in positive outcomes\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nPD funding available to eligible participants.\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop.
