Infants and toddlers : growing potential (Rotorua) - Tamariki kōhungahunga akoranga: e tipu e rea!

Infants and toddlers - growing potential - Rotorua

In this workshop we will explore why it is vital to provide responsive and nurturing experiences for infants and toddlers.  Information from the fields of both education and neuroscience will be shared before we move on to the practical aspect of the workshop.  Translating the theory into our practice we will identify and engage in experiences and environments that are responsive, nurturing and educational for infants and toddlers.
