| Description |
Childhood is a precious time in a child’s life. We are often so focused on how to get the child to the next stage of develop that we struggle to see the child as whole at this moment in time. How do we value and respect where the child is now? We can begin by designing environments and planning curriculum that speaks to the child where they are, here and now! We expect you will walk away with many hands-on activities and ideas for you to use immediately with those you play with most often.
