During this session educators will discuss what tend to be some of the most common concerns parents have that may lead providers to feel pressured to not allow children full freedom of play, explore ideas for how to respond to some of the above parental concerns, and examine a variety of ideas for ways of providing parent education about learning through play. Through study of the previous ideas educators will find increased confidence in providing rich play experiences for children in their care and can then trust that they are truly working at doing what is best for each child.
