Cognition and Play
This Podcast is brought to you by the Young Explorers leadership team of Northbrook School District 28.
This Podcast introduces the community to different areas of child development and explains how each area grows while children play. Throughout the course of this year, we will highlight four different areas of development, starting with cognition, and following with subsequent episodes on communication, social-emotional, and motor development. In each episode, you’ll hear about a specific area of development from a Young Explorers specialist, teachers, and even students.
