This training explores how early care and education professionals can use everyday materials intentionally to support children’s learning and development. Participants will learn how to maximize the use of accessible, open-ended materials to promote engagement, extend learning through interactions, and strengthen curriculum practices across age groups. The session will also highlight how thoughtful use of materials supports quality standards and enhances children’s experiences during free play and daily routines. Providers will leave with practical strategies to make the most of available resources and create meaningful learning opportunities without the need for additional spending.
