This course presents basic recommendations for designing and maintaining a safe, healthy, productive learning environment for school-age children. The course is intended primarily for childcare professionals who care for school-age
children in an afterschool setting but is also relevant and helpful for anyone who works with children in grade K and up.
The Toddler Curriculum
This course is designed specifically for early childhood professionals who work with toddlers, a group that typically includes children between their first and third birthdays.

The Value of Mindfulness in Early Childhood Settings

Participants will discover ways to plan for mindfulness throughout each day and arrange the early childhood classroom to support this approach.
Theater Arts in Early Childhood Education
This intermediate-level course explores ways to incorporate theater arts into the early childhood curriculum to promote development of social-emotional, cognitive, early literacy/language skills. Course content is relevant to teachers of all age groups, though many of the activities will be appropriate for pre-K and up. Participants will learn about the connection between early dramatic play and structured, teacher-planned activities that build cultural knowledge and skills related to critical thinking, creativity, and emotional expression. This course provides numerous ideas for activities and teaching strategies teachers can start using right away, plus resources and guidance to assist in creating staged theatrical performances.
