Description. 

Being a kid is critical. We see the signature of early childhood experience literally in people’s bodies- positive early experiences lead to longer life expectancy, better overall health, and improved ability to manage stress. Plus, longterm social emotional capabilities are more robust when children have a chance to learn through play; form deep relationships; and when their developing brains are given the chance to grow in a nurturing, language-rich, and relatively unhurried environment. This training reviews the power of play, how play builds strong neural connections, and play-based learning strategies for infants, toddlers, preschoolers and schoolage children. Leave with a variety of classroom and home strategies that incorporate play into the day’s learning
