Using Collections with Children

Using Collections with Children

An evidence-based guide for early childhood educators working with children ages 3–12 Children are natural collectors — an estimated 30–80% keep a collection at some point in childhood, usually without any adult prompting. This workshop shows educators how that everyday urge to gather, sort, and arrange becomes a powerful vehicle for cognitive, social-emotional, and language development.  What we cover: The research foundation. The developmental benefits.  The educator's role.  Ideas you can use immediately.  Who it's for. Early childhood educators, ECE students, and childcare teams working with children ages 3 to 12.  What you'll leave with. A clear rationale for why collecting matters, language and prompts to extend children's thinking, and concrete strategies to honor and build on the collections children already bring through your door.
