The Power of Play: Fostering Growth and Learning in Early Childhood (3 hours)

“The Power of Play” is designed for early childhood educators to explore the crucial role of play in children’s physical, cognitive, and social-emotional development. Participants will learn about the science behind how play shapes brain development, practical strategies for integrating play-based learning into their classrooms, and the educator’s role in supporting meaningful play. Through hands-on activities and discussions, educators will leave with tools and ideas to create play-rich learning environments that foster holistic growth and development in young children.
