Almost all practitioners can identify with the many questions that we may ask ourselves when learning through play. When there is a calm buzz in the room as children are busy and engaged with many different materials and activities, we may still ask ourselves “Is this enough?”. In this session, we will learn about the different ways that we can document children’s learning, as well as how to communicate with parents and other stakeholders about the science of learning through play.
Learning Objectives
In this session series, you'll learn how to:
- Understand the importance of play in early development
- Understand the ways that child development is interconnected
- Understand the different domains of development and how they are connected to play
