Overview
Join our three-part Professional Learning Community (PLC) to discover innovative approaches to loose parts play. We will delve into the philosophy of a loose parts mindset, which encourages exploration, discovery, and creativity using materials already present in our learning environments. Gain a deeper understanding of the pivotal role adults play in supporting children’s development through warm, responsive, and playful interactions. Learn to communicate the rich learning that takes place through play with families and the learning community. Our interactive sessions, featuring reflective dialogue, practical application, and collaborative exploration, will equip participants with the skills and confidence to add loose parts to the early learning environment.
