Course Description

Let’s explore Brain Development! There has been a lot of research on the topic, but why should you learn about synapses and brain stress? In this workshop you will learn how children’s brain is wired for social interactions, and how children’s experiences with you make all the difference for a healthy brain.

Let’s explore Language and Literacy! When you create opportunities for children to listen and talk every day, when you create an environment rich with books and printed materials and when you engage children in meaningful experiences, you provide a foundation for early reading, writing and oral communication. Come prepared to self-reflect and share fun activities.

Let’s explore Block Building! This workshop will explore strategies to promote child development in the areas of social-emotional, physical, cognitive, and language development. Learn about the different stages that each child goes through when playing with blocks. This is a hands-on experience, so come prepared to play as a group on the floor.

This course offers 1.5 CEUs.
