Children Doing More with Less; How Opened Ended Materials Can Support Development in the Early Years

As part of our ongoing commitment to offering families high quality early learning opportunities and, in response to your feedback given in the Parent Survey around Early Learning Topics of Interest, we will be offering a morning of exploration for parents and caregivers with Angela Hoar.

This session will offer opportunities to engage with loose parts and explore together:

• Why is it that children seem to do more with less?

• What rich open-ended materials for this play are we overlooking that might be readily available in our homes?

• Why and how learning through play, in an environment rich in open-ended materials, enhances children’s learning?
