Play is Learning

Harrison County Library Corydon held a Play is Learning workshop for caregivers and children, age 5 and under. During this time, children enjoyed playing with blocks while caregivers were shown how those activities foster the child’s mastery of the age-appropriate math skills as defined by the Department of Early Learning. Each child left with a book containing further activities to increase math skills, using materials often found in a home.

Additional sites for this workshop are being planned for Clark, Floyd, Scott and Washington counties. There will also be future Play is Learning workshops focusing on additional Department of Education Early Learning standards.

Event was sponsored by Align Southern Indiana and led by Building Blocks.
