How do we create loving and generous environments for young children that honor their competence and potential, generate curiosity and wonder, invite deep and extended exploration, and promote empathy and connection? What is the relationship between how we schedule the flow of the day and the materials and media that we make avail-able to children? And what can we learn about rich, engaging learning environments by accompanying and observing children in the natural world?

The Friday, November 8th event is hosted by Teton Science Schools. Lodging for participants at the school Friday evening is available ($75 per person / breakfast included). Participants are eligible for up to two Wyoming or Idaho STARS hours.

The Saturday, November 9th event will look to the experiences of the infant toddler programs and preschools of Reggio Emilia to guide and provoke our thinking about creating rich, amiable environments that communicate and promote a culture of caring, wonder, and possibility. Participants are eligible for up to five Wyoming or Idaho STARS hours.
