SUMMARY:The More We Get Together!
DESCRIPTION:Inclusive Care for Children with all Abilities\nInclusive care isn’t something we add to our classrooms – it IS our classrooms! Every day we ensure that our environments and activities are responsive to the needs\, interests and abilities of all the children in our care. But how do we know this?  How can we ensure our classrooms are inclusive? In this workshop\, we will explore the answers to these questions and many more. Let’s take a look at what are the unique needs of children with special needs and some approaches we can take to best support children with special needs and their families. We will also learn a variety of ways we can adapt activities to meet the need and abilities of every child in our care. Let’ look at our classroom with a new perspective – through the eyes of children with diverse needs!

SUMMARY:No Waiting! Get Them Shaking!
DESCRIPTION:Learning Effective Transition Strategies\nOh\, those lovely transition times…where chaos seems to reign\, and things get a little crazy!  But this doesn’t have to be the case if we learn how to provide effective transitions! Children are not able to sit and wait…or line up perfectly-every time…so why not make it fun for them and a smoother transition for you as well!  Participants will identify the 3 core concepts behind effective transitions and practical ideas and activities to support each concept: Plan it – Provide Warnings – and Engage! We will touch on everything from visual daily routine schedules to fun transitional activities. This session is sure to increase your library of transitional strategies that will smooth that chaos and stress and turn it into an enjoyable part of your day. Get ready to shake\, sing and be innovative as we brainstorm fun transitional activities that will inspire you and the children in your program.

SUMMARY:Know No No's! 3 Hour Overview
DESCRIPTION:Supporting Children with Difficult and Challenging Behaviours Using Positive Guidance Strategies – 3 hour overview\nExpressions and difficult behaviours of young children can baffle us sometimes when we struggle to understand them. The key to remember is that all behaviour is a form of communication…we just have to figure out what they are trying to say! Which is sometimes easier said than done. This introduction session to positive guidance strategies is an interactive and informative workshop about why children engage in challenging and difficult behaviours and how we can get to the core of this style of communication. Understanding each child and being pro-active in our approach to guiding behaviours will help keep a calm and encouraging environment for young minds to explore and learn. We will identify the communication behind the behaviours\, how to build resiliency\, activities to promote self-awareness and self-regulation\, activities to build positive social skills and what to do when the big emotions overwhelm the children.  Learn some practical strategies that can help you and the children in your room. Our goal is not to fix the behaviour but to support the child in learning more positive ways to communicate their needs\, wants and ideas through positive behaviours.
