About this Event

Welcome to the wonderful world of Learning Stories! In this 4-Part Series led by Hilltop Children's Center educators, participants will:
*Learn about the concept of Learning Stories as a holistic and creative form of documentation in early learning
*Discuss Learning Stories' origins in the early childhood programs of Aotearoa New Zealand
*Explore the powerful impact Learning Stories can have on the well-being and development of young chilldren and their families
*Develop tools and resources for making Learning Stories an enjoyable and sustainable practice for educators.

Whether you're brand new or a veteran of the Learning Stories approach, this workshop series will provide fresh ideas, practical strategies, and joyful inspiration for ECE professionals while learning in relationship with one another.
Each session will be worth 2 hours of STARS training credit for WA State Early Learning Professionals.
