May 2, 2023Face to Face training: Double-check the LOCATION of the session before registering!
The importance of play for a child’s healthy development is grounded in a strong body of research.

Through music, sand, art, and more, we will learn how to effectively plan intentional outdoor learning activities to engage children in play to spark their curiosity and engage their senses.
This training is presented through a partnership between SPARK Learning Lab and Lakeshore®. A meal will be served, and all attendees will receive a materials kit to use with the children in your program!
