…Designing for the future of learning begins with a deep understanding of the needs of our littlest learners as at the start of their educational journey. The experiences children have during early childhood - from birth to eight - establish the foundation for later learning and relationships. Outside of the home, the most time children have to establish this foundation is at daycare and school. Both Montessori and the schools of Reggio Emilia refer to the environment as the "third teacher,” and in this session we will explore the ways in which intentional design can support learning in all domains and support student agency. This session will provide actionable insights for designers, educators, and administrators looking to create spaces that inspire, support, and engage students from the very beginning of their learning experience.
