No guts, no glory! This training isn’t for the faint of heart! Designed specifically for the early childhood professional who is ready to embrace and defend the value of play. This all-day training includes tough discus-sions, documentation drills, brainstorming sessions and a “GO PLAY” obstacle course (aka: HANDS ON STATIONS). Participants will leave with a toolbox full of research-based artillery that will help them educate parents and others of the importance of play and how it IS the definition of developmentally appropriate practice. Lunch will be provided.
*Registration is completed when registration form and payment is received by the CCRR program.

Johnson through Redleaf Press: “Let Them Play: An Early Learning UnCurriculum”, “Let’s Play” and “Let’s All Play”.
