Play and Learn Foundations: Kindergarten Readiness for Families is a practical, play-first course that equips staff and community educators to design joyful, developmentally appropriate stations for children ages 0–5 and their caregivers. If you serve families in libraries, family resource centers, preschools, clinics, or community programs, this course shows you exactly how to build early literacy, early math, motor, and social-emotional skills through hands-on, low-cost activities. You’ll learn the why behind play-based learning, get a clear snapshot of birth-to-five development, and use Universal Design for Learning to welcome mixed ages, abilities, and languages. Then, you’ll turn theory into action: build engaging stations, structure smooth sessions, and coach caregivers in the moment using warm, strengths-based strategies. We’ll help you observe and document growth with light-touch tools, connect goals to kindergarten readiness, and adjust for equity and access. An implementation toolkit, pilot checklists, scripts, and rehearsal scenarios make it easy to start fast and improve each week. By the end, you’ll have repeatable routines, station cards with age adaptations, take-home activities for families, and a four-week launch plan. Create spaces where children explore, caregivers feel confident, and school readiness grows—one playful moment at a time.

            <p>Play and Learn Foundations: Kindergarten Readiness for Families is a practical course for staff who plan, set up, and facilitate play-based stations for children ages 0–5 alongside their caregivers. You’ll learn how to design joyful, developmentally appropriate experiences that build early literacy, early math, motor, and social-emotional skills—while strengthening parent–child engagement. Throughout the course, we center strengths-based, inclusive, culturally responsive, and accessible practices, using low-cost materials and routines that families can repeat at home. Success means predictable sessions, measurable growth in children’s skills, and caregivers who feel confident, informed, and supported.</p>

<p>We start by grounding in child development essentials across ages 0–5 and across domains, then translate that knowledge into Universal Design for Learning, scaffolding strategies, and responsive facilitation. You’ll build out stations for literacy, math, motor, and social-emotional learning with clear goals, age-band adaptations, and home extensions—plus materials lists and sanitizing/storage routines. Next, you’ll structure a full 60–75 minute session flow with roles, visual supports, behavior guidance through connection, and a focus on family comfort and language access. The course equips you to coach caregivers in the moment—explaining the “why,” modeling, using simple coaching moves, and embedding serve-and-return talk, math talk, and emotion coaching. You’ll practice observation and documentation that are light-touch yet meaningful, link your stations to kindergarten readiness expectations, and use an equity lens to ensure access and participation for all children.</p>

<p>To move from plan to practice, you’ll run a pilot with room layouts, safety checklists, and contingency plans; you’ll rehearse facilitation with scripts, read-aloud techniques, and role-plays that reflect real scenarios. Knowledge checks throughout keep your learning on track. In the wrap-up, you’ll leave with a four-week action plan: a calendar of sessions with domain goals, finalized station cards and material bins, staff role assignments, family communications, and clear metrics for success with built-in reflection checkpoints. By the end, you’ll be ready to launch a reliable, relationship-centered program that families love and that builds strong foundations for kindergarten readiness.</p>
