Circle Time Magazine, Season 4 Overview: Big Kids Edition

Welcome to Season 4 of Circle Time Magazine: Big Kids Edition

Circle Time Magazine is a unique professional development series that offers a web-based talk show, magazine, and online resources with each episode. This season we’re partnering with School’s Out Washington to look at quality teaching practices with an expanded age range. We discuss practical strategies for working with children ages birth to 12 years old. Many providers serve both early childhood and school-age children. During the COVID-19 pandemic many programs have expanded their services. Some providers are serving school-age children for the first time and other programs are serving school-age children all day and are supporting remote learning. This season we review practices to support both experienced and new school-age care providers. Learn about creating safe and culturally responsive learning environments, building social-emotional skills, and cultivating empowering relationships with children.
