Slow Pedagogy: Giving Children Time and Space for Their Play to Thrive | Early Childhood Training

We know that children learn through play. We know that play is essential to children's well-being. And yet, the lives of many children in our care are so busy, so jam packed with programs, routines, extra-curricular activities, and expectations, that they simply do not have enough time to play. As early childhood educators, we have an opportunity to slow down children's days.

What you'll learn:
✅ Gain strategies for implementing flexible and progressive mealtimes with children and learn the benefits of doing so,
✅ Learn about the difference between a rhythm and a routine and reflect on how these impact on children's play,
✅ Gain insight into the developmental benefits for children of play becoming more confident to advocate for play in your setting.

In this workshop, we will explore: the concept of slow pedagogy, the impact of flexible and responsive routines on children's play and their sense of well-being, and the importance of long, uninterrupted blocks of time for play.
