Full course description
In this training, you will develop an understanding of the purpose of the Every Child Ready Centers component. You will learn why learning through play is valuable for children and how to create a play-based Centers environment that supports exploration, engagement, and learning. You will explore the nine Every Child Ready Centers and examine best practices for facilitating and managing Centers instruction. You will also examine strategies and tools that support classroom setup, routines, participation, and child independence during Centers. Finally, you will create a plan for Centers management and instruction using resources such as the Centers Facilitation Checklist, Environment Quality Scale, Centers signs, Check-In materials, and Facilitation Sheets.
