Kit Boxes: Nurturing and Supporting Child Curiosity, Exploration, and Investigation
View Details
October 25, 2025 9:30 am - 1:30 pm
NSCC - Kingstec Campus, 236 Belcher St, Kentville, NS B4N 0A6, CanadaDescription: This hands-on workshop aims to engage educators in a deepened understanding on how themed kit boxes can be used as invitations to play. You'll learn how to provide children with developmentally appropriate and culturally sensitive materials and manipulatives that encourage them to explore, use their imaginations, and to inquire.
There will be opportunity for educators to investigate a range of kit boxes and to reflect on 'how' they would use them as provocations, or as support to existing themes constructed by children's developing interests.
Participants will finally create their own structured min kit box using a range of loose parts, felt items, and other open-ended materials that will be made available to them. This workshop will require participants to make a choice on one of three themed kit box ideas.

Originally from London, England, Nova moved to Nova Scotia in 2019 with her husband, son, and three cats.

📚 Dive into the magic of books and storytelling as we explore how
every part of a child’s day—art, science, math, music, language,
outdoor play—is beautifully connected.
Storytelling & a Whole Lot of Other Stuff!
Featuring Carolyn Landry, Indigenous Oral Storyteller
& host of the Seven Sacred Teachings Podcast
In partnership with the Association of Early Childhood Educators Nova Scotia; AECENS
Storytelling is one of the oldest forms of communication & is a way to share experiences, understand others, emotions, perspectives & promote respect for all life. When we listen to a story there can be lasting personal connections, imagining of new possibilities & promotion of innovative problem solving & fostering of a shared understanding. It can also show a pathway through any adversity that the child may be experiencing. Stories often have multiple layers of meanings that the listener can ‘hear’ & ponder on & make sense of the world.
The promise of stories is limitless—each narrative opens a new doorway into the possible, a canvas upon which dreams & discoveries are painted. Stories invite us to imagine what could be, to wander into unknown worlds, & to embrace the unfolding of new perspectives. They are pathways for curiosity, bridges to connection, & seeds from which understanding & transformation grow.
This conference is a gathering for those who believe learning begins with curiosity & grows through connection. Through storytelling, art, science, movement, & play, we will explore how imagination, diversity, & a sense of belonging shape vibrant learning communities. Together, we will reflect on how inquiry & self-expression empower children to become authors of their own learning journeys.
We will explore the inherent connectedness of all aspects of the child’s early learning. We will explore methods of integrating this learning into the everyday experiences of children in the early learning & care program. When we approach learning in a holistic manner we engage the whole child.
Using books & story telling as a vehicle to explore the many aspects of the educator’s work with children, we will:
use books & storytelling as invitations to explore art, science, numeracy, literacy & language, music & movement & outdoor play.
examine how inherent in each aspect is the need to allow for autonomous play, & relationship building.
explore the use curriculum webs as a planning & documentation tool.
use the Froebelian principle of Unity & Connectedness as a foundational approach to planning

Culturally Responsive Practice in Nova Scotia’s Early Learning and Child Care Settings is a 12-hour module developed in response to the ongoing enhancements to Nova Scotia’s Early Learning Curriculum Framework (NSELCF).

Through a reflective approach, participants will become deeply aware of their own identities and the identities of the children, families, and communities they serve.

Module 5: Milieux d’apprentissage inclusifs
Dans le cadre de l’exploration continue du Cadre pédagogique de l’apprentissage des jeunes enfants de la Nouvelle-Écosse (CPAJENE), ce module invite les participants à analyser leurs environnements d’apprentissage à travers une lentille globale. Les participants examineront comment les environnements transmettent des valeurs, favorisent un sentiment d’appartenance et influencent l’identité et les expériences d’apprentissage des enfants. Ce module offre des occasions d’évaluer de manière critique la conception des espaces d’apprentissage et de réfléchir à des moyens de les rendre plus accueillants, réceptifs et inclusifs pour tous les enfants.
Les participants s’appuieront sur l’activité du plan d’aménagement du Module 3 : Relier les principes et les pratiques de l’apprentissage, et approfondiront leur réflexion à partir des apprentissages de ce module : les quatre éléments des environnements d’apprentissage, l’approche à double perspective, l’environnement comme troisième éducateur, et le rôle des éléments sensoriels et esthétiques.
Les participants vont:
- examiner la pratique de milieux d'apprentissage inclusifs, tel qu’il est décrit dans Capable, confiant et curieux: cadre pédagogique pour l’apprentissage des jeunes enfants de la Nouvelle-Écosse (CPAJENE), et ses liens avec l’approche à double perspective;
- évaluer leur milieu d'apprentissage actuel, à l’intérieur et en plein air, selon les quatre aspects (physique, psychologique, social et temporel) afin de déterminer les possibilités d’améliorer l’accessibilité, la souplesse et le sentiment d’appartenance;
- analyser le fonctionnement du milieu d'apprentissage en tant que « troisième éducateur » et son influence sur l’identité, les relations et les activités d'apprentissage des enfants;
- appliquer leurs connaissances sur les aspects sensoriels et esthétiques à la conception de milieux d'apprentissage propices au développement de chaque enfant.
