Description

Adventurous play goes by many names—messy play, nature-based play, big body play. It is exciting to children and meets important development needs, but facilitating this type of play can be a challenge to the staff of regulated early care programs. Learn the research behind, and strategies for, supporting young children as they make choices and assess risks during highly physical, sensory-rich play. This course is designed to be part of a Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential™ curriculum. It covers CDA Subject Area 2: Steps to Advance Children's Physical and Intellectual Development. This course can also be taken as a stand-alone learning event, or as part of a broader early childhood education curriculum.
