We’ve collaborated with @nhsl to offer a play-based learning workshop for NH library staff at different locations throughout the state! Thank you to Rochester PL for generously hosting our first one yesterday for these amazing seacoast-area librarians! #playbasedlearning
At today’s @WaypointNH event in Concord, families enjoyed milk and cookies, stories, arts and crafts, & free children’s books! Children also explored #looseparts (open-ended materials that can be used in a variety of ways). These materials promote #playbasedlearning and the #6Cs

👏👏👏 "Researcher @KathyandRo1 has a challenge she would like to see lawmakers in the U.S. Congress take on—call it a dare. She wants all 535 of them to spend a day taking the lead in an #earlychildhood classroom." bit.ly/3aCO19I
