Supporting the development of creativity through play with CID

It is vital then that we tune in to children and create a loving, exciting environment in which they thrive. This webinar will explore rich, irresistible spaces and places with ideas for Provocations, invitations, and catalysts for play.

Every child is unique, each one different with the potential to be nurtured, cared for, to be supported and championed. It is vital then that we tune in to children and create a loving, exciting environment in which they thrive.

This webinar will explore rich, irresistible spaces and places with ideas for Provocations, invitations, and catalysts for play. When a child is Curious they look to Investigate. Through their investigation they make Discoveries, leading themselves to learn.

Using our CID (Creativity, investigation & discovery) method, we will explore the notion of ‘inspiration’ or ‘getting an idea’, and how to develop a child-centred pedagogy. Through sharing time with engaging, nurturing adults we hope to lead every child to think creatively and critically about their engagement and involvement in play.

Through our reflection, we will lay the building blocks of Awe and Wonder using our Six Golden Threads of Curiosity, Connection, Communication, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Child Wellbeing. This webinar will blend theory, thinking, and practical ideas around our children being active in mind, body, and heart.

A quote from Alice. “Doctors might save lives, scientists might change the world, architects might design the space we live, and artists might make it beautiful; but it all begins with a small child being encouraged by YOU to be curious, investigate and discover the world around them. Early Years Educators change the world, one step at a time”
