This training is being held on Thursday 9/26/19 from 6:30pm-8:30pm in STONEHAM - The Purpose School, 1 Church St. Stoneham, Ma.  Children are fascinated by the world around them. They’re endless “why” and “how” questions help us see their natural curiosity in action. For some of us, teaching science feels like an intimidating task. It need not be! Teaching science is not about having “the right answers” to children’s questions. It is about being willing to partner with children on their journey of discovery. We are already doing science in our programs without realizing it. This hands-on workshop will focus on how to “get comfortable” and be inspired by what children can teach us about the world.

This training is being held on Monday 10/21/19 from 6:30pm-8:30pm in STONEHAM - The Purpose School, 1 Church St. Stoneham, Ma.  Do children feel loved? Most would answer, “Of course!” This workshop will look how different children give and receive love and care in five different ways. And because human behavior says that we nurture and love in the way we need it, not in the way others need it, adults have to adjust to how children accept love. Come find out how to make those adjustments!
