At the beginning of the transition to Virtual School, the Early Years team hosted a Zoom meeting with parents to share this important message about child development. During this meeting, the Early Years team provided ideas for self-directed play, while discussing how to set boundaries for children's independent time at home.
Ideas for outdoor play were also shared, to ensure children gain the vital outdoor movement that they need each day, as well as ideas for sensory play at home with suggestions for materials to play with.
