It can be difficult to answer families\u2019 questions about play. How can you take all the relevant theories of play and learning and package them in a sentence or two? You can\u2019t! That\u2019s before you even think about coaching families through the process of supporting their child\u2019s interests and inquiries! We\u2019re in this together! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting with play schemas<\/a>, we have created this workshop so that you can share the wonderful world of schemas and invite families into the process of play. Use this presentation to walk them through how their child inquires through the world, what they are finding out, and how they learn from this! This knowledge has a big impact for families – empowering them to be part of their child\u2019s play journey too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why wait? Spread the love of play and learning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
