Child Care Providers

Discover how to foster creative expression in young children and explore the tools of art with mixed aged groups. In this exciting workshop, you’ll learn how to set up art activities and foster creativity in young children with inclusive practices for children with special needs. Process art is an open-ended creative art experience as compared to product art where children follow a set of instructions, working towards a specific end result. We’ll classify various types of art, using videos and hearing from child care providers who have led both process and product focused art experiences. As a bonus we’ll have fun with 50+ art experiences!

Spirited children are more intense, persistent, and energetic than others. They are courageous, determined, and challenging. This temperament often translates into a behavior that can be challenging within a child care setting. This workshop will equip child care providers with tips and strategies that can be used while working with spirited children’s personalities. Rebecah Freeling has 20 years of experience in early care and education and specializes in strong-willed, spirited kids. She will share approaches to deal with tantrums and aggression that will help transform your interactions with spirited children.

Series dates: 3/5, 3/12, 3/19, 3/26

Schemas are repeated patterns seen in children’s behavior. By taking time to observe young children and discovering revolving themes in their play, we can use those themes to engage and support their learning. In this workshop, we’ll focus on how to tune into children’s interests and brains, how those interests change over time, and how adults can use the nine most common schematic play scenarios to support brain development. We’ll offer resources that providers can use in child care settings and look at children’s learning opportunities, linking it back to tools such as the DRDP.
