Children have a right to beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces that inspire play, curiosity, and joy. This webinar explores Loris Malaguzzi’s idea of the environment as the third teacher and how thoughtfully designed spaces shape learning in powerful ways. We will unpack how design choices invite exploration, reflect your philosophy, make learning visible, and nurture children’s agency and collaboration. When environments are intentionally crafted and responsive to children, they become active partners in learning, offering continual moments of inspiration, connection, and meaningful discovery.

Leave feeling ready to:
• Design indoor and outdoor spaces that invite exploration and reflect your program’s values.
• Create environments that support independence, agency, and collaboration.
• Use the physical setting as a genuine partner in children’s learning and thinking.
