The responsive early childhood educator observes these experiences and scaffolds to learning so that ordinary moments become extraordinary. This workshop will present theory to early childhood educators about the importance of sensory experiences and provide time for exploration of several sensory experiences. Come for a morning of connecting to play in its purest form so that you may revive this type of play in the experiences you create for the children in your care.
