The course will focus on the following discussion points:
  • What are the principles and features of excellent early years practice which never change?
  • How can we invite, entice and engage our ‘littlest learners’ to encourage independence and creativity?
  • What is rich, meaningful learning … what does this look like?
  • What are provocations and fascinations and why are these important for children?
During the day practitioners will have the opportunity to take part in creative workshops, share planning and consider a learning environment which has the Four Purposes at its core.
