Overview

When we view children as capable, competent, curious and rich in potential, our environments become a reflection of this view and the values we hold for children and childhood. Together will explore designing rich learning environments and the role of the educator in enhancing children’s experiences in these spaces. We will reflect on… How do our values influence our practice? How do we organize our time and routines? How do we provision for children’s explorations? How can we help children see the possibilities? How do we create a structure for openness where children can use the environment with independence and complexity?
