Workshops for Families and Parents

Parents and families as learners and co-constructors alongside our children are important assets for our children. KAI can help provide guidance and inspiration to help you understand and embrace the value of the arts, nature, and play in whatever context you are engaging with children. Adults experiencing and co-creating meaning for themselves are key to understanding. As parents and families experience, construct, and come to know, so will our children.

KAI offers customized parent/family workshops. These workshops can cover:

• Why the arts, nature, creativity, inquiry, play, and literature are important to you, your children, their childhood experiences, and wellbeing
• How the arts, nature, and creativity stimulate the young brain and assist neural development
• Practical ideas for incorporating the arts, nature, and play into your home, everyday adventures, and community context
• The nuts and bolts of setting up your home environment to encourage the arts, creativity, and learning
• Space design for indoor and outdoor environments at home to inspire and empower your child's curiosity, independence, and intellect
• KAI's favorite resources and tools for enhancing your child's at home experiences
