Our presenter, Pooja, will be joining us online.

In this workshop we will discuss the benefits of outdoor play and how we can use the playground spaces for much more than physical play. We will discuss how a well-designed outdoor space can help implement a responsive emergent curriculum. It can also provide a wider range of benefits for children—reducing stress, sharpening their concentration, and promoting creative problem solving. In this workshop we will learn how to nurture children’s enthusiasm for the out-of-doors using creative sensory experiences and loose parts to accomplish this task.
