Observe and Support Children’s Interests

Loose Parts are a great way to add excitement and creativity to any early childhood learning Ecosystem.

Young children are naturally curious and love exploring their surroundings. Loose Parts provide the perfect opportunity for them to do just that. With so many possibilities for imaginative play, the sky is the limit to what they can create. 

As an educator, you know that providing opportunities for creative expression is essential in early childhood development. When Loose Parts are intentionally placed in an early childhood environment, the result is intriguing, challenging, and full of imaginative play possibilities for young children. 

This course will walk you through specific guidelines to observe and support children’s interests and curate the Loose Parts that support play and learning.
