Learning Language and Loving It! (Hanen Centre)
- Research shows that in childcare or early childhood settings, the amount and quality of interactions between caregiver and child are the most important factors in a child’s well-being and development.
- Learning Language and Loving It! - The Hanen Program for Early Childhood Educators/Teachers () (link) is a research based developmental approach to promoting children’s social, language and literacy development within everyday activities and conversations in a variety of early childhood settings including child care, preschool, and kindergarten programs.
The Learning Language and Loving It! Program addresses a need for:
Prevention of Language Delays - by helping teachers create a language-rich, highly interactive environment for children at risk for language delays
Early Language Intervention - by helping teachers provide children who have identified language delays with a highly interactive language-learning environment geared to each child's individual language level and conversational style
Language Enrichment - by helping teachers provide typically developing children with an enriched language-learning environment that builds on their existing language skills and promotes the development of the learning of language
The Learning Language and Loving It! program is a series of nine, 2 ½ hour classes that involve hands-on learning activities, small/large group discussions, and viewing of videotapes filmed in the childcare centre (4-6 times per program).
