Play Studio for Teachers

Welcome to Play Studio for Teachers, a professional learning resource.

Through classroom videos and practical resources, this channel helps early childhood educators explore the art of teaching through dramatic play. Discover intentional teacher roles and strategies that support children’s imagination, communication, inquiry, and learning while preserving the child-led nature of play.

Explore roles such as Co-Planner, Play Leader, Co-Player, Co-Narrator, Play Director, and Catalyst for Reflection, and learn how thoughtful, responsive teaching can create richer and more purposeful play experiences.

Play Studio for Teachers is made possible through the generous support of the Caplan Foundation for Early Childhood.
