Workshops

About this Event
Join us as we explore the importance of encouraging, celebrating and building on the ideas and interests of young children in early childhood settings. Together we'll look at stories, rhymes, songs and hands-on activities that can be adapted to the interests of the children in various early learning environments while encouraging numeracy, literacy, gross and fine motor skills. Participants will have the opportunity to work with others to develop their own ready-to-use interest-based lesson/activity plans as we  recognize the importance of following the lead of the children in our care. Best for those working with infants, toddlers and pre-school aged children.

This workshop will be presented by a Bookmates Facilitator. Bookmates is a non-profit organization based in Winnipeg with over 40 years’ experience in supporting early learning educators. Bookmates stays current with emerging research and themes  related to healthy child development and uses a literacy lens to share strategies, information, resources and practical experiences.

About this Event
CCRR will be covering $20 of the cost of the puppet kits for this workshop, reducing the participant fee to just $10.

Puppets can help us by supporting our children in expressing feelings that otherwise might keep dormant or suppress. Puppets are and can be a hands on activity. Puppets can put a smile on a child's face. Puppets help adults become silly, be a child again, and explore the unknown. Making a puppet can help adults de-stress and become creative. Join me in this interactive workshop and learn more about empathy and puppets. In this workshop you will learn how to use puppets to help children express how they feel. You will learn to make a Tumble Fritz, and you will learn the benefits of using puppets in your daily interaction with children.

My name is Oana Nistor. I am an Early Childhood Educator, Montessori teacher and story teller. I’ve been working in the ECE field for over 23 years. I presently teach the Early Childhood Education program at Ridge Meadows College in Maple Ridge. I am passionate about children and I am passionate about stories and their teaching power.  I am fascinated by the power of stories and more importantly the benefits and the   lessons we can learn from stories. It is a pleasure and a privilege being able to present this workshop to you and introduce old ideas in a somewhat innovative and creative format.

About this Event
Emotional regulation is vital to the healthy development of young children. A balanced and regulated child can play, collaborate, explore, initiate, take risks, and more. They are at rest and open to discovering the world around them.
Yet, a calm, curious, and eager-to-learn child is not the only picture we conjure in our minds when we think about children. We also happen to think of those times of dysregulation: a boiling over of emotions that lead to outbursts, tears, meltdowns, and more.
While we want children to feel and express all emotions, one might wonder how they are to help build a path to emotional regulation. What is the road map to  strengthening the child’s ability to ride those waves of emotion?
This workshop provides information for caregivers and professionals about the latest research on emotional regulation for children as well as practical ways to support   children to find that emotional balance with increasing ease.

Monica Chan, a parent educator and early childhood specialist, empowers ECEs with practical, child-centered strategies to foster emotional regulation, teamwork, and  independent problem-solving. With expertise in child development and a focus on  responsive, respectful practices, Monica helps educators build stronger connections and nurturing environments.
