Creating an engaging space and place

Our Early Years Environments are not just a space where children go to play and learn, they can also be a PLACE where children feel a strong sense of belonging.

How does your early childhood environment create a sense of belonging for all children and families?
How do children and families know in their hearts that this is their place?
Is your environment just a space or a true PLACE for learning and belonging?

Our Early Years Environments are not just a space where children go to play and learn, they can also be a PLACE where children feel a strong sense of belonging.

In this webinar, Christine Burkholder has talked us through how to create a" Place" that inspires, empowers and celebrates children.
