In Defense of Messing Around: Creative Arts for All Children
Presented by Johanna Booth Miner and Sarah Miner, Early Childhood Master Professional Workshop Trainers
Core Knowledge Areas: Promoting Child Growth and Development; Teaching and Learning
Daily children are learning through open ended creative art activities. From birth, a child has been exploring the world building on this natural curiosity, so we need to carefully set up the environment for learning about the world through touch, sight, sound, taste and smell. Art and sensory play can be a springboard for learning how to problem solve when teachers pose relevant questions about their play. The multi-sensory approach works with most any child’s learning style. It is both appropriate and effective for children who may be primarily visual learners, auditory learners or kinesthetic (movement) learners.

Center Directors and other program leaders have an important role in the prevention of abuse and neglect among the families they serve. First, leaders can work to provide staff with supportive supervision in which they can openly discuss and access their concerns about possible abuse and neglect. Program leaders can also establish clear cut policies and procedures concerning how and when to report suspected abuse and neglect. This training provides program leaders with an opportunity to learn about and practice relationship-based supervisory approaches and to explore how best to respond when staff members have concerns about abuse and neglect.
