Summary

Join us in this training to support preschool children in reaching their full potential! A “Whole Child” approach focuses on supporting growth and development of the child – brain (how we learn – build knowledge), body (physical growth), social (making friends), and academic (what we learn) in integrated ways. Come gain ideas to create environments and opportunities where preschoolers learn and thrive.
