What will you learn?
’Sleep’ drives many family conversations, aspirations, and sometimes concerns. A good sleep positively impacts our children’s day, their emotional regulation, and learning outcomes. In early childhood group care, children’s sleep can be significantly impacted as they adjust to a new environment, routines, noise and many other extenuating factors.
This workshop dives into how we can support quality sleep for our infants and toddlers in ECE environments and includes;
- Safe sleep
- Conducive sleep environments
- Cultural considerations in sleep habits and routines
- Bridging the gap between home and early childhood service
- Understanding the science of sleep
- Creating a positive relationship to sleep
- Unpacking your own values and how these impact children’s sleep in ECE
- Sleep routines, rituals and managing groups of children at sleep time
