Sponsored by Learning Beyond Paper.
Every early childhood program’s physical environment, both indoor and outdoor, sets the stage for learning and engagement. The physical environment sends strong messages to children and adults about what is valued, who is valued, and what learning can occur within the spaces. It is up to family child care providers, directors, and teachers to carefully design their environments with absolute intention.
Making modifications to your environment to reflect and support the children you currently serve can take place any time of year. In fact, observing the design in action can reveal opportunities for improvement.
Join this reflective webinar presented by early care and education expert, Laura Delgado to learn to design your space in a way that offers children the opportunity to feel comfortable owning the space. This session will provide practical ideas and processes for intentional design of indoor and outdoor environments for children birth through 5 years old. You will learn:
- Planning insights to enable you to set up your environment with intention.
- How to set the stage for learning, and use the environment as the 3rd teacher.
- How to use different types of materials, and collect age-appropriate materials including commercial, natural and repurposed.
All sessions are 1.5 hours long, and include a brief announcement from our sponsor.
2:oo PM – 3:30 PM Eastern Time.
