Play Training: Because adults need to play too!
PLAYLearnThink offers training for teachers, early childhood educators, recreation leaders, parents, municipal and playspace planners, in fact, for anyone who’s work directly or indirectly impacts children.
As parents and educators you are committed to helping children learn, to nurture their sense of wonder for the world and guide them on their path to life-long learning, resilience and social, emotional and physical well-being.
As a planner, you are dedicated to providing spaces where children are free to engage in play, where they can hone their social, cognitive and physical skills. You recognize that children need a place where they can be in charge to direct their own exploration.
Engage with the world of play through our play workshop and discover why play is a fundamental necessity for the healthy development and well-being of children. We customize the training session to meet your needs in your context.
