Play is the primary way young children learn, build confidence, and develop physically, socially, and emotionally — and this workshop breaks down exactly how. You’ll explore the different stages of play, how to set up spaces and materials that invite exploration, and how to tell the difference between toys that spark real imagination and ones that do all the work for the child.

You’ll come away with age-appropriate activity ideas from infancy through the preschool years, practical tips for encouraging creativity without over-structuring it, and a better sense of how to read what a child’s play is telling you.
