Session 1: Quality Interactions with Infants and Toddlers

Participants will learn strategies to promote positive behavior as well as strategies to support infant and toddler child development.

Session 2: Loose Parts
Children of all ages can spend hours playing with simple materials like sand, water, boxes, shells, or rocks. These objects ignite their imaginations and stimulate their creativity. Loose parts possess infinite possibilities for the child, with multiple outcomes. A loose parts rich environment provides children with numerous opportunities to discover new ways of thinking and new ways of processing knowledge learned by investigating, manipulating, exploring and playing with the materials.
Presenter: Wendy Dixon
Session 3: Building Blocks of Positive Child Behavior

We will also evaluate a variety of strategies and problem solve several challenging scenarios.
Presenter: Regina Coates
Session 4: Loving and Listening to Parents of Preschoolers
In “Loving and Listening to Parents of Preschoolers”, Susan will be talking about how to build relationships with parents as we ALL work together to meet the individual needs of each child.
