Early Years. Ready to Learn: Play, Purpose, and Progress
How do we move beyond “just play” and create meaningful learning experiences with purpose and progress?
Join this engaging SAALED webinar as we explore the powerful connection between play and the curriculum within an inquiry-based programme. Together, we will unpack what intentional play looks like in the early years, how educators can thoughtfully scaffold learning through play, and why play remains one of the most effective ways for young children to develop curiosity, agency, critical thinking, and a love for learning.
This session will offer practical ideas, reflections, and inspiration for creating rich learning environments where play and purposeful teaching work hand in hand.
This webinar takes place on Thursday 17 September at 18:00 via MS Teams. The price is R230 for members and R320 for non-members. School block bookings should be sent directly to events@saaled.org.za
