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!\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:Caring Connections: Interactions that Matter
DESCRIPTION:ONLINE Community Webinar\nCaring Connections: Interactions that Matter \nThe comfort of an encouraging smile. The caring reassurance after a fight with a friend. The excitement of co-celebration as they discovery a new skill. How we interact with children has a huge impact on children’s growth and development\, not only their social emotional development\, but also in their abilities to problem solve\, resolve conflict\, and take risk because they feel safe! Children rely on positive\, supportive and encouraging adults in their live to show them they are respected\, safe and loved. This type of interaction doesn’t happen just by supervising\, asking questions or giving direction. It comes from a deep connection between the adult and the child. A connection that takes time to build and takes intentional interactions. Let’s learn some strategies of how to build this connection with ALL children – from the ones we struggle with to the ones who love us the moment they come through our doors.  Understanding what each child needs to feel a connection will help us establish that bond with each child and continue to see that relationship blossom. Connection is key! \nObjectives: \n\nDefining Caring Connections\nIdentify the Importance of Connecting with Children\nKey Benefits of Establishing Connections with Children\nIdentify Strategies of how to Build Caring Connections\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:We Are Family! Building Stronger Connections with Families
DESCRIPTION:We Are Family! Building Stronger Connections with Families \nHi Samantha…I mean Sidney…I mean…Ms. Randolf…I mean…Maggie’s mom! Connecting with families\, and knowing their names\, is just as important as your connection with the children in your care! Families are the primary caregivers in a child’s life. An essential role for educators is co-creating strong relationships with families. Sound simple?! Maybe…or maybe not. We always have families who are easy to connect with and we always have families that we struggle to form a trusting bond with. We need to carefully look at how each family is unique and embrace the diverse perspectives they can bring to your program. Whether it’s family expectations\, family dynamics\, family rituals and routines or family culture that are creating some wonderful resources or some difficult tensions for you\, your ability to sustain positive relationships with families is essential. Every family is unique and brings a different perspective about their child’s growth\, development\, and views on play. Understanding the importance of working with families\, not against them\, can create a strong foundation of support for the children in your care. Let’s bring the village together to ensure children have a safe\, supportive\, and culturally responsive environment where children can thrive! \nObjectives: \n\nWelcoming families to your community\nCo-creating strong relationships with families\nCollaborating with diverse families\nEngaging in difficult conversations with families\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\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. Please click the link 10 minutes before the workshop begins to join in.\nCertificate of participation will be available to registered participants.\nAll registered participants will have 30 days access to the webinar recording.\nE-transfers to be sent to tina@inspiredmindsecc.ca\n\nZoom link is included in your ticket email.
