What’s the Developmental Gain? Independence & Social Skills!

Eating together helps children practice self-help skills and fine motor control. It is also a wonderful, natural time for children to practice talking and sharing with their peers.

Play is at the heart of early learning! 🖍️

Our onsite students wrapped up their first play course by putting what they’ve learned into practice. Through open-ended activities in art, science, literacy, math and music/movement, they explored how the same materials can inspire many different ways to play.

Students took turns being the educator while their classmates played—practicing how to join in, ask thoughtful questions, encourage ideas and help extend the learning.

A hands-on way to explore how educators can support children’s curiosity, creativity and development while giving them room to lead!

What’s the Developmental Gain? Problem-Solving & Creativity!

You do not need fancy toys to boost brainpower. Open-ended play lets children think critically, use their imagination, and figure out how things work naturally.

What's the Developmental Gain? Early Reading Skills!

Reading with children every day gives them a huge head start. It grows their vocabulary and boosts brain development. It also creates a close bond between the reader and child. What is your classroom's favourite book right now?
