We know that children learn through play. We know that play is essential to children's well-being. And yet, the lives of many children in our care are so busy, so jam packed with programs, routines, extra-curricular activities, and expectations, that they simply do not have enough time to play. As early childhood educators, we have an opportunity to slow down children's days. In this workshop, we will explore: the concept of slow pedagogy, the impact of flexible and responsive routines on children's play and their sense of well-being, and the importance of long, uninterrupted blocks of time for play.
What will we cover?
- Time
- The importance of play
- Slow Pedagogy
- Flow State
- Rethinking our routines,
- rhythms, environments and practices
Participants will gain strategies for implementing flexible and progressive mealtimes with children and learn the benefits of doing so; learn about the difference between a rhythm and a routine and reflect on how these impact on children's play; and gain insight into the developmental benefits for children of play becoming more confident to advocate for play in your setting.
