SFCS Workshop: Caring for Children in Mixed Age Groups, April 17th 2021

Caring for Children in Mixed Age Groups by Solano Family & Children's Services

Come and learn useful strategies to benefit mixed-age children in a group setting

About this Event

Unlike many childcare settings, family childcare homes and some center-based care settings integrate children of different ages. This interaction results in greater opportunities for children to form friendships and relationships than they could have in a group of same-age children. Mixed-age settings provide children with opportunities to observe, emulate and initiate skills and behaviors that can be monitored in a safe and developmentally appropriate manner. Participants will engage in:

• the role of the adult as a careful planner
• theoretical frameworks that support the importance of play
• setting up a safe place for all ages to learn and grow
• strategies to benefit mixed-age children in a group setting
