Engineering activities provide opportunities for children to grow and mature, and engineering design challenges promote social and emotional learning. In early childhood settings, educators and young children solve problems using available materials and an engineering design process. The process is not step-by-step because it looks different depending on the age of the children, the time available, and their engagement with adults, helping them reflect on their work and process. Learn what this looks like and how to incorporate this into your classroom.
Participants will receive handwashing, diapering, toileting, and sanitation procedures as they are performed multiple times a day. While an early educator may believe that they already know how to properly wash hands, diaper children, assist with toileting, and clean, this training can help improve or refine their behavior to keep themselves and children healthy. Reviewing proper technique is a good reminder that these processes are beyond cleanliness but can also prevent the spread of infectious disease.
