Play is not only critical for a child's development, it also has healing abilities. Come learn the basic tenants of play therapy in a fun session that is developed for classroom professionals caring for young children. This session will let you see ways to incorporate play skills in your classroom and how to utilize therapeutic language with the children in your care. Come play with us and leave with practical information that you can implement in your classroom tomorrow!
