Join us for 4 hours of training on Saturday, April 1st!

Places that Nurture Well-Being and Belonging with Melanie Van Eyk
Saturday, April 1
10:00 am - 2:30 pm
Child Care Options, #100-6846 King George Blvd, Surrey

This practical workshop will illustrate what a long-term project can look like through storytelling, documentation, and examples of invitations and provocations. We will imagine our long-term project is “Homes” and how that offers practitioners the opportunity to critically consider and reflect on the key principles of home including a sense of well-being and belonging, safety, and care. It challenges practitioners to consider the importance of attachment, well-being, belonging and connection in terms of their practice. Participants will receive a list of book resources as a handout.

Oh how we love great thrift store finds, the treasures that we discover when we shop second hand always excite us! This is often where we find so many beautiful treasures for children to discover and engage with. The inviting selection of materials was purchased by our Community Connectors team, Nina and Tennille, who use these materials to encourage open-ended play for children.

All the items you see here were purchased for under $10, or in most cases under $5! Happy thrifting!
