About the session:

Schemas are a normal aspect of a child’s development and are always evolving based on how the child responds to events in both the real world and with other people. Schemas, are a crucial stage of learning that are ingrained in children’s behaviors and movements and are a  component of the developing brain.

Schematic play support children’s learning of conceptual concepts. By doing things repeatedly, children are building their sense of perception. They are sorting, organising, analysing, and re-analysing. Did you know that a child may learn about size, sorting, making sets, and classifying by putting up larger cars on one side of the table and  smaller ones on the other? Understanding schemas can help adults see how children investigate concepts related to height, width, and space, as well as hiding, rolling, and rotation.  This webinar will concentrate on understanding and supporting schematic play, which children use to aid their understanding of the specific conceptual idea they are experimenting with on a deeper level.
