Creating conditions where regulation, inclusion and play thrive.
 
This full-day professional learning workshop explores practical, realistic ways to shape environments, strengthen educator language and deepen play practice to intentionally build belonging for all children.

Use neuro-affirming language that preserves dignity, agency, and belonging
Feel more confident supporting risky and challenging play
