Partners In Participation

Early Childhood Learning:

The Learning Basket approach is based on four main concepts:
  1. Parents and care givers are a baby's first teacher
  2. Children learn through play
  3. The first 3 years are extremely important in a child's brain development
  4. Anything can be a teaching and learning tool

The Learning Basket includes a basket with 18 learning objects and an activity book. Its curriculum has been used in parents programs, home visitation programs, and child-care centers.

Ways to use:
Learning Basket Parents Training:
8-12 weekly sessions. The focus is on the importance of play in the development of a young child, the critical nature of the first 3 years in nurturing a child's optimal development, child's brain development, practical approach on how to prevent child abuse and over 100 practical and appropriate activities to nurture learning with their children.

All the above programs are available in English, Spanish or bi-lingual. Want these programs in Spanish?
