The laboratory aims to develop technical skills targeting ECEC educators working with birth-to-3-year-olds. In the course, theoretical and practical aspects related to the activities that characterize childcare services will be explored. The workshop also aims to provide some practical tools to interact in the childcare services not only with the child, but also with the educational equipe and the family.

1) personal and professional skills of ECEC educators.

2) organization, structure and life at the childcare service.

3) the roles of the childcare service (educators, coordinator, etc.)

4) design of educational activities, language and cognitive stimulation in childcare services.
