Inspiring Play Spaces in Early Childhood (Introduction)

It will be the new year soon and many of you will be setting up your new play spaces for the year. This is a two hour professional development aimed to engage and inspire you in play space design. We will discuss the importance of fluidity, how light and shade can be used to transform landscapes, provocations and natural opportunities for learning, and much more. This is driven by the principles of the Reggio Emilia Approach of the environment as the third teacher. The ideas discussed in this session will be clearly linked to the Early Years Learning Framework and National Quality Standards. Presented by owner/director Kate (bio under philosophy tab).
