Playmakers University Brendan Rooney

Sponsor: Vermont Association for the Education of Young Children (VTAEYC)
Instructor: Life is Good: Playmaker Project

This full day, in-person workshop is designed to spark joy, deepen connection, boost morale, and reignite their passion in the field. Following an inspiring keynote to kick off the day, staff will participate in two interactive breakout sessions – one that focuses on games & activities to play with kids and another that focuses on helping staff tap into their own playfulness. Why? Because play is the language of children. And as Playmakers, we need to speak it fluently. Staff will walk away with practical tools and a deeper understanding of the Playmaker approach for creating corrective play experiences that help children heal, learn, and thrive. They then get to continue their journey and deepen their learning through our world-class, online certificate program that can be done anytime, anywhere.
