Creativity in Summertime: Free ECE Video Resource from PBS Kids

For young children, learning happens year-round! In this 60-minute professional development webinar, educators receive tips around fostering childhood creativity and supporting development when school isn’t in session.

This free resource shares insights from PBS SoCal Early Learning Champion, Charisse Sims, who shares fun and creative ways to engage with art, music, and expression during the summer holidays. 

Some of the highlights from the video include…

• Curiosity makes our brains more receptive to learning and helps us enjoy the sensation of learning.
• Curiosity and creativity can help solve some of the world’s toughest problems!
• Using senses in an activity can help retain the information.
• Rhythm is regulation! Bodily sensing exercises can help create resilience to trauma.
• Art and music connect us to ourselves, each other, and the world around us.
