Creating Meaningful Experiences for Infants and Toddlers
Date Oct 2, 2021 | Time 9:30am - 11:30am
Providing unique, sensory-based learning experiences for infants enhances their overall development. When exposed to experiences that engage all their senses, infants develop cognitively, creatively, emotionally and socially. In addition, when responsive caregivers interact with infants and scaffold this learning, we strengthen the caregiver-infant relationship. This workshop will provide insight into infants’ unique sensory learning needs. Caregivers will learn why sensory exploration is so vital to infant development and they will learn fun, creative ways to provide rich experiences for infants.
