Time: 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm          3 hours training                

Fee: $50.00     FCC Fee: $35.00 (Promo Code)                                                

This workshop is designed to help participants understand how to set up provocative areas that can lead to further learning, reflection, questions, exploration and discovery, experimenting projects and much more. It will be an interactive workshop with video clips, visuals, hands-on manipulatives, group activities, discussions and Reggio Inspired classroom displays.

  • To discover how play based centers and Reggio inspired programs can work together.
  • To work in groups and get inspired to create provocative tables.
  • To introduce participants to the concept of loose parts.

Suitable for students, novice, intermediate and experienced early learning child care professionals working with infant/toddler and preschool children, parents, adult instructors and administrators.
