This session will introduce educators to the power of loose parts play as a transformative approach to early childhood education. We will delve into the powerful role of loose parts play in fostering social-emotional learning in preschool classrooms. Participants will explore the foundational ideas, principles, and theories of loose parts, practical strategies for implementing them to promote SEL skills in the classroom, and the myriad benefits they offer for child development.
