Training opportunitiesProven, Play-based Strategies that Create a Place for Every Kid

A Great Place to Work

CDA Orientation and Registration

Kim LoDico, NYSAEYC Credentialed Trainer

Gayle Nixon, NYSAEYC Credentialed Trainer

This free members only training, offered through Playworks Pro, focuses on the power of safe, fun, and healthy play every day. How kids feel and engage on and off the playground has a direct impact on their academic success, social relationships, and physical health. Play offers children a chance to be active and learn important life and social skills. However, play time is often a period of chaos and conflict. Many kids end up on the sidelines or engaging in playground disputes that spill into the classroom and detract from learning. This hands on workshop will provide tools to address social and emotional learning as well as practical skills that tap into the transformative power of play to change lives.

How is your organizational climate? Are there sunny skies or storms a brewing? As a center director, measuring and monitoring your organizational climate in key to setting the tone for success. In this session, we will explore various strategies that will help you create a great place to work.

Gayle Nixon, NYSAEYC Credentialed TrainerWorking and playing well with others requires more than just “being nice.” To be able to collaborate, children need to learn how to take turns, solve social problems, and share community space and stuff. Some children seem to acquire these skills naturally while other children need lots of support to learn how to play cooperatively. Come learn techniques and strategies to help your children with the skill of collaboration!
