Childhood educators play a special role in a student's life. When a student finishes with their academic studies their teachers are remembered as mentors and friends. The lessons that children learn are more easily retained when they form a connection with their childhood educators. Teachers and early childhood educators can attend seminars, read books and receive consultancy services in the classroom, to strengthen their role as nurturers and educators in the classroom environment. Lifelong Learn offers these services to reinvigorate this role for teachers.
How Workshops Develop the Role of a Teacher and early childhood educators

Teachers and early childhood educators become better able to assist their students and provide education when their educational institution organizes a workshop on the school's or centre's behalf. Workshops can be focused on any topic including learning through play and education for special needs. To make the most out of a workshop, teachers should prepare with:
• Questions that they would like to ask the consultant.
• The willingness to look within and learn through self-reflection.
• Supplies to take notes and record the concepts discussed and resources offered.
• Be prepared to work independently and as a group.
Workshops are an interactive and efficient way to convey a lot of information, in a shorter period of time than a course. This benefits teachers and early childhood educators by not having to take time off from teaching to learn new material. The workshop will contain information and provide follow-up books that have been researched by child psychology experts, and are on the cutting edge of industry knowledge. Teachers and early childhood educators who take these workshops will be able to return to the classroom and apply their new skills, providing an enhanced learning environment for their students.
How Books Establish the Teacher's and early childhood educator's Role as a Friend
Books are an excellent resource that teachers and early childhood educators can work with on their own time. Reading books about playing with children, while integrating their activities with the learning process, is a method to strengthen the friendly bonds between the teacher and student. When a student is happy with his or her teacher and early childhood educator, they are more likely to pay attention, and show a willingness to learn. Children have fun playing games and being active and will respond positively to a teacher and early childhood educator that regularly provide these activities.
How Programming Reinforces the Teacher's and Early Childhood Educator's Role as a Mentor
A teacher or early childhood educator who is confident, and has a set practice and process in play, will be an intelligent facilitator that a young student can aspire to. Children need mentors, other than their parents in their lives to learn and grow. A child learns from the example of his or her teacher or early childhood educator and this mentoring relationship can be strengthened with a professionally developed program for the school or facility that allows adults to make the most of their skill. Programs can focus on any topic, or current programming can be assessed and improved. New and improved programming benefits teachers, students and the overall educational institution.
