This hands-on workshop empowers educators to deepen their skills in observing and listening to infants and toddlers, to create intentional, responsive programming. Through guided reflection and activities, participants will explore how to observe and interpret children’s cues, interests, and actions to understand how they learn. The session emphasizes the importance of slowing down and listening closely to build strong relationships and design programs that are tailored to children’s needs. Educators will gain strategies for creating environments that support development, inquiry, and care.
