Loose Parts Play & Tinkering Lab Sessions

Join us to co-create wonderful & fun learning opportunities for SF Early Childhood Educators, Children & families. Help us replenish with lovely, clean, natural and reusable materials at the Loose Parts & Tinkering Resources Room at the San Francisco City College, John Adams Center.
During these sessions, ECE Educators will learn about loose parts play and how to select materials for their learning environments. *Attending these sessions qualifies for Professional Development time with the California ECE registry.
