Panel Webinar: What Makes Working with Two Year Olds Unique?

Stronger Practice Hub Event

Julia Manning-Morton

Join us for this live online panel webinar with guest Julia Manning-Morton, a national specialist in child development with a particular focus on birth to 3-year-olds. Julia will be joined by Cassie Holland, Birth-3 Network Leader for the SPH, and a local practitioner in a setting with 2-year-olds.

The panel will discuss working with 2-year-olds in early years settings and celebrating what makes this role unique in an early years or home setting. The panel will reflect upon what it means to be a champion for 2-year-olds, and they will explore areas of practice and provision for 2-year-olds that can be perceived as challenging. Throughout the webinar, the panel will reflect upon specific practices when working with families accessing funding because they are getting some form of government support. There will be an opportunity to ask the panel questions throughout the webinar.

This session will be recorded.
