Children are naturally curious observers but they need adults who can help create an environment that supports and guides their development of inquiry. In this workshop we explore how adults can create both the physical and social settings that facilitate children’s innate drive to explore and expand their understanding of the people, objects and forces around them.

Yes, preschoolers are ready to start learning the foundational skills in Algebra. That means they can learn to do sorting, classifying, sequencing and patterning! Have fun with young children as they build their mathematical reasoning skills through noticing the attributes of things around them.

Young children are naturally interested in comparing, ordering and measuring. Learn how to use this intrinsic fascination with measurement to expand children's understanding of the world around them and their critical thinking skills.

Preschool has always included teaching around circles, squares and triangles, but this is only the beginning of geometry in early childhood settings. Investigate the wide range and depth of concepts under the title of geometry that children are ready to learn about before they go to kindergarten and lots of fun ways to teach about them.

Number Sense is much more than just counting. Learn about the discrete skills that children need to learn and the trajectories for learning these skills. Have lots of fun exploring creative and enticing ways to teach young children about numbers and how they work.  There are two versions of this workshop - "On the Farm" and "Dinosaurs" .
