Temporada 1
Risky Play
Clapping Back Against Skeptics
Risky play in before and after school early childhood education (ECE) programs involves providing children with opportunities to engage in activities that may involve some level of risk, such as climbing trees, exploring uneven terrain, or using tools under supervision. While it may seem counterintuitive, allowing children to participate in risky play has been shown to have numerous benefits for their development.
This episode is about challenging the status quo, advocating for greater recognition of before and after school education and overall, arming you with the information you need to clap back at skeptics.
Welcome to The Forgotten ECE and thank you for tuning in. This is for those wonderful educators who teach Before and After School programs, Summer Camp, March Break and PD camps and are thrown wherever they are needed in between!
