About the course
This course is designed for early childhood educators, teachers, and professionals who want to implement the High/Scope approach in their classrooms.

By the end of this course, participants will be equipped with the skills necessary to create an engaging and supportive learning environment that fosters children’s autonomy, creativity, and problem-solving abilities.
