All Ages / 2 hours / Child Care Staff
Early literacy is what young children know about reading and writing before they can actually read, and write. Children need to see, feel, touch, and explore the world in order to understand the meaning of words. We, as adults, are entrusted to provide the best learning environment by reading, singing, rhyming and more.
Join me in this fun class and discover how we can help children at an early age develop their language skills through finger-play, lap songs, reading, storytelling, rhymes, and more to enable the wonderful transitional development from Lullabies into Literature.
All Ages
“Circle time is a time when our students come together as a community of learners. As a community, we share our thoughts, listen to one another, actively participate together, introduce new concepts and ideas, read together, sing together, and build a sense of respect and support for one another…”
Join me in this class and let’s share Deborah J. Steward’s “Top Ten Secrets Tips of Circle Time” and how to include our curriculum through this optimal learning time.
Nature is The Best Teacher
1.5 Hours / Child Care Staff / Intermediate Level
Learning and exploring in the great outdoors provide a wonderful opportunity for young children to make insightful observations; it connects the children to the natural world stimulates their imagination and creativity, and allows them to exercise all their senses.
Furthermore, a nature-education curriculum, whether it is about animals, plants or landscape, builds on children’s curiosity about the world around them. Also, it helps them develop skills in problem solving and critical thinking using hands-on real and natural materials. These Skills are the foundation for learning math, science and reading.
Join me in this class and see how we can use our outside time as learning time. Outside time teaches children to think and talk like scientists, as well as to develop physical and social skills.
