LKG Showroom Tour Sparks Inspiration and Collaboration for ECE's

LKG Showroom Tour Sparks Inspiration and Collaboration for ECE's

 

 

Our recent LKG Showroom Tour stops in Burlington & Vancouver left participants inspired and brimming with ideas for their learning environments.

 

With hands-on experiences, valuable insights into classroom layout, and a chance to connect with like-minded colleagues, we tried to create an engaging space where participants could explore, interact, and play with a wide range of materials.

 

 

From innovatively designed indoor and outdoor furniture tailored for child care centers and early years classrooms to open-ended resources, plus first views of some recent finds.

Attendees were encouraged to touch, feel, kick the proverbial tires – or at least the hidden flip-up castors on the shelves -- and experiment with the materials, assessing the learning-through-play potential of each.

Widgit Online, for quickly creating signs, schedules, labels and other visuals, was certainly a highlight.  Another was gathering ideas on how to layout learning areas effectively. With a focus on creating environments that foster child development, there were a lot of practical takeaways: sample plans and case studies, plus strategies, tips and insights informed by participants own common challenges.   

Not to mention, loot bags, draw prizes and tasty snacks too.

Managers, supervisors and frontline ECE's from not-for-profits, the private sector and goverment organizations, seemed to really appreciate sharing their common challenges within a rapidly evolving professional landscape.  Fascinating discussions were sparked around finding engaging screen free resources for after school programs, taking learning outdoors, planning and -- not surprisingly -- staff shortages.  

For the team at LKG, we came away with lots of learning and a renewed admiration for everything the professionals in our community do, to create quality learning environments for generations of children day-in, day out!
