Talking about the magic of loose parts play is a passion of mine (you probably know this since your here on this blog!). Embracing the wonder of these variables and all that they can do for your role, children’s development and the everyday flow of your routine is only the start of their endless possibilities.
Carla Ward, founder of Early Learning Foundations (ELF) hosts a podcast called, The Everything ECE Podcast, “where we talk about everything related to being an Early Childhood Educator. If you work in a child care, preschool or kindergarten setting, The Everything ECE Podcast will provide you with inspiration and actionable steps with professional and personal tips and tricks to find that ideal work-life balance.”
Carla recently had me on as a guest to discuss the magic of loose parts play and I think we chatted for an hour before we hit record! As I’ve said before, when you get passionate ECE’s together the conversation just flows.
Listen to this clip on valuing the “mess” of loose parts play to spark your curiosity!
