Learning requires engaging repetition and consistency to reach a level of independence – learn how to enrich your child’s life through play!

About this Event

There is extensive research to support the benefits of play in childhood development, and the lazy days of summer are the perfect opportunity to encourage and incorporate meaningful play! According to the Harvard Business School of Education, the benefits of play include intellectual development in key areas like Executive Functions, social development, emotional development and physical development. As a parent or caregiver, we often want to use the summer to address achievement gaps for our kids, enrich areas of interest, or ensure our kids stay productive to prevent the “summer slide.” Learning through play is the perfect approach—by incorporating intentional play, your child can learn the skills they need to thrive next school year and beyond! In this webinar, we will:

• provide an overview of learning through play,
• discuss real-time, play-based strategies that your family can put into practice all summer, and
• create forward movement in your learners’ confidence and skill-set so that they can approach the coming year with enthusiasm!

We’ll start with a 15-minute presentation followed by an expert panel discussion with “play experts,” saving a few minutes at the end for a live Q&A session.
