Learn my simple method for identifying play.
You know the questions by heart:
- When will they learn their numbers?
- Are you preparing them for reading?
- Are they learning anything?
In this event, you are going to peak over my shoulder as I show you the learning unfolding in play.
You will watch real footage of children playing at the Hummingbird Cottage, and hear me breakdown what’s happening in their play.
This event will help you position yourself like the expert you are, and generate undeniable buy-in for play.
