Child-initiated play is one of our most important training modules for our team. Supporting our children to problem solve and to emotionally regulate through play is vital in developing their early learning experiences and creating confident young learners. Whilst holiday camps and wraparound care are places that the children come for fun and games after their long days/terms of lessons, it is still our responsibility as Early Years Educators to provide some learning based experiences and development opportunities for our children. We love to do this in a way that isn’t seen as ‘learning’ by the children and encourages them to develop themselves. Items we covered in our most recent training to support our children in our settings: - Open-ended activities - intentional questioning - intentional atmospheres - various accesible resources What do you do to support children’s self-development? We would love to hear your ideas and techniques 👏🏼
