Early Childhood Teacher Rejuvenation

Early Childhood Teacher Rejuvenation: Sowing Seeds for Literacy

June 16-20, 2025 | 8am-4pm

With Anjum Mir and Kate Hammond

Children unfold capacities for learning in an environment that supports their natural growth. How do we provide opportunities for cognitive learning in early childhood settings? Enlivening activities in the classroom develop persistence, focus, and a ripeness for knowledge. During this week together, we will consider what the foundation for literacy is and how we can build such capacities in our day-to-day work.

Singing with Christiaan Boele, Speech with Christine Burke, and Eurythmy with Karen Gallagher.
