Bringing the Inside Out and the Outside In (Kitsilano Neighbourhood House)

Wednesday February 28, 2018       Time 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm       2 hours 

Fee: $35.00      FCC Fee: $20.00 (Promo Code)                                                                                                

Get ready to be part of an outdoor play revolution! Let’s get together and review outdoor play and how we can bring the inside out and outside in! Participants will consider time, space and materials, and the roles early learning educators’ exhibit to encourage children to experience play in a meaningful way. We’ll explore using loose parts in the outdoor and indoor play space and setting up invitations to play that provoke children’s thinking and ideas.

Objectives:

  • Discover how to easily connect the outdoor to the indoor. 
  • Be inspired to create beautiful environments outside and inside to invite curiosity.
  • Encourage bringing children outside, to connect with nature and promote the benefits of outdoor free play.
  • Review David Sobels seven design principles which can be used to shape outdoor experiences offered to children.

 *Suitable for parents, students, adult instructors/administrators, novice, intermediate and experienced early learning child care professionals working with children of any age from infant/toddler, preschool to school age children, including children with extra support needs.

Presenter: Sarah McCarthy. Sarah created ECE Connect in 2016 with the idea of connecting early childhood educators together, and offering workshops that she feels are needed in the field. Sarah holds a Bachelor of Science in education and training, a diploma in early childhood education and Montessori (0-12 years) and a certificate for children with special needs. She’s been in the education for over 15 years; currently manages a preschool and is a board member of the ECEBC Vancouver branch.
