As early childhood educators, we know play is essential for every aspect of children's health and wellbeing. Open-ended creative explorations offer a perfect outlet for play, however not every parent feels comfortable or confident in engaging in such activities. With the current COVID 19 crisis, supporting the adults who support our youngest learners has never been more important. Taking an empathetic and compassionate approach, this session will share strategies and resources to help address for common barriers that keep parents and caregivers from supporting creative play at home and in the classroom.
