Description of Training Session:
A child’s play is more than just carefree time. Through play, children learn and incorporate newfound skills in their lives. It is important that play centers encourage and motivate children to learn. Therefore, child care providers should design play centers with emphasis on specific areas of interest, such as home living, science and math, art and music. This course familiarizes students with the components and purpose of special interest centers in a child care facility; specifically home living, science and math, art, and music centers.
