Training: "Brrr...It's Cold Outside. Let’s Go Out and Play!” ~ Getting Outdoors in Winter

So often cold temperatures and snow deter us from taking our children outdoors in Winter. Join us for this 1.5-hour webinar to learn hands on and fun ways to engage children outdoors in Winter. We will discuss barriers, guided activities, and ways your outdoor space can support play year round. Let’s bundle up with hats, mittens and scarves, and play.

Training: Part Two: Meeting Diverse Sensory Needs in Home Childcare

In part two of this series, we continue to explore the processing of our eight sensory systems (yes, eight!) and their role in early learning and development. Together, we will explore how to create inclusive environments and curriculum that help all kiddos harness their energy and transform it into productive, meaningful learning experiences.

Assess your current practices and develop a plan to include more multi-sensory activities, even when space and time are limited, including:

Individual and group sensory diets, sensory bins, and everyday materials
Energy release activities – heavy work AND mental work
Energy calming practices – for over-stimulated children and for all children’s well being
Daily Schedule – stimulating vs. calming activities, individualize with sensory diets
Ideas for each age group – brainstorm ideas for Infant – SA (depending on your group)

Presented by: Shannon Greeley, MA; The Wheelhouse Collaborative, LLC
