Child Development Milestones
Participants will learn about the developmental milestones of the whole child. They will learn about the developmental stages of motor development and emotional well-being from infants and toddlers to pre-kindergarten. During these years motor skills are perfected. Creativity and imagination start to shine. Caregivers will learn about the social-emotional developmental stages of children, and learn about meaningful learning experiences that build growth.
Playful Learning with Arts & Writing
Participants will learn ways to provide meaningful literacy experiences where children develop an understanding of the meaning of language and early writing development through art. Participants will learn that early writing is both a literacy activity and a fine motor skill.
Language & Literacy Experiences
Participants will learn about creating meaningful learning activities and experiences that support language and literacy development from toddlers to Pre-Kindergarten. Caregivers will learn strategies for building phonological awareness and activities that encourage children in language development and early literacy.
Spark Scientific Inquiry with Nature
This workshop will focus on helping participants recognize how to support the development of scientific inquiry skills in preschoolers. Participants will learn how to encourage children to use their natural curiosity to explore nature.
All workshops are OCCRRA-approved and provided free of charge to all early childhood professionals.
