Children create understanding and knowledge of their world by interacting with the environment and the 'things' within it. While they are doing this, we often observe them repeating actions over and over again and see repeated patterns in their play. If you would like to find out more about schema play and how to support schema play in your early learning and child care setting then this engaging, interactive and fun workshop is for you. There will be opportunities to engage in thought-provoking conversations with fellow Educators and explore a variety of materials and experiences that support schema play. This three-part series will support Educators to develop environments and experiences that facilitate cognitive development through schema play.
The third and final session in this series will focus on Emotional Schemas. Educators will have an opportunity to dive deeply into the concept of emotional schemas in an early learning and child care setting. This will include identifying and recognizing emotional play schemas, and how educators can support young children with the development of self-regulation through emotional play schemas.
