Skill Development Programs

For experienced early childhood professionals and volunteers who want to sharpen skills.

For students in undergraduate and graduate teaching programs.

For museum volunteers who want to work with preschool and early elementary audiences

LLF offers hands-on experiential skill development programs to “train the trainers.” and provide adults with creative ways to teach, guide, enjoy inspire young children.

Parents,  teachers, out-of school time providers, volunteers, and mentors explore everyday objects and environments with an eye toward engaging children in discovery-based learning.  Adults  awaken their own creativity.  Three core skills permeate LLF skill development programs:

  • Learning through looking
  • Inquiry Strategies
  • Connecting home, school, and community learning
