Young children have a great capacity for creativity that thrives when it is nurtured. Early childhood teachers have the opportunity to inspire children's innovative thinking and doing by:
- Including creative opportunities across all domains of learning; - Designing a beautiful space that encourages children's experimentation and plays; - Extending children's learning and challenging their thinking; - Documenting children's thought processes and displaying their work; - Involving families and the community in children's creative endeavors; - Reflecting on your beliefs and practices about creativity and nurturing your own creativity.
Learn how to support children as they problem-solve, explore and share new ideas, and collaborate with others, and watch their confidence and capableness grow.
