VIRTUAL SESSION

United States

Please join us for a two-part virtual cohort focused on Count, Play, Explore (CPE): Light and Shadow!

In this engaging learning experience, we will explore how the CPE Light and Shadow activity can spark sensory curiosity, support early mathematical concepts, and encourage scientific thinking in infants, toddlers, and young children. Through hands-on exploration of light sources, transparency, shadows, and silhouettes, participants will discover meaningful ways to promote curiosity, observation, and learning.

Cohort Schedule:

Day 1 – November 3, 2026
Light and Shadow Professional Development

Day 2 – November 18, 2026
Light and Shadow Community of Practice

We look forward to learning, exploring, and reflecting together!
