This session will focus on the importance and benefits of outdoor unstructured free play. We will explore why it’s essential to child development and how it supports the foundational skills for learning. We will showcase outdoor environments where child led play is fostered and creativity, problem-solving, self regulation, and motor skills flourish. Streamline your loose parts and tools that can be used outdoors in all types of weather. Simplify your programming and create child led and inclusive experiences where all learning styles and personalities shine through.
