The childcare center achieves its educational goals through the activities that take place in the daycare on a daily basis. Routine and transitional activities are the basis of the daycare schedule. Play periods are then added to complete the schedule: outdoor play periods, directed activities, thematic activities and free play.

It is on this last one, free play, that we focus in this training, in order to understand its importance in the development of various skills and to value it as an activity that allows the child to reach his full potential.

Duration of the training: 6 hours, including 3 hours on child development and 3 hours on the educational program.
