Children create understanding and knowledge of their world by interacting with the environment and the 'things' within it. While they are doing this, we often observe them repeating actions over and over again and see repeated patterns in their play. If you would like to find out more about schema play and how to support schema play in your early learning and child care setting then this engaging, interactive and fun workshop is for you. There will be opportunities to engage in thought-provoking conversations with fellow Educators and explore a variety of materials and experiences that support schema play. This three-part series will support Educators to develop environments and experiences that facilitate cognitive development through schema play.
During this first session Educators will be introduced to schematic play, discover more about Action Play Schemas and how to develop schema rich environments and experiences that meet children's needs and interests.
