Why Water Is the Perfect Montessori Child Developmental Playground

Jo Wilson

Description

Jo is passionate about exploring how our environment can be a powerful teacher, inspired by Maria Montessori’s philosophy. Water is our precious life source and when we look at water with a new lens, we are opening a new world of possibilities to not only respect our environment, but each other on a deeper level. This presentation will provide practical takeaways for parents on how to support our babies and early years children’s development, so they reach their full potential. We will be talking about supporting your little sensorial learners, how energy is amplified in water and how water provides the brain and body with increased feedback and new neural connections, unlike any experience on dry land. Join Jo for an engaging session filled with insights and actionable ideas!

Jo Wilson is an International Aquatic Professional, Tutor for the STA (Swimming Teachers Association), Founder of Aqua Sensory and Developmental Play Practitioner based in the UK, who works with babies and early years children at their two-purpose built family swim centres, Swim Works in Warwickshire.

Jo has been privileged to talk at many International Conferences and webinars, to share her passion to swim families and professionals.

Aqua Sensory was founded in 2013 to support the precious foundation years for babies and early years children. Jo noticed that the world was changing and in response children’s development and ability to learn to swim in the pool was changing too. Aqua Sensory supports our changing world, our program is a new pedagogy for the pool; a child-led and developmental approach to water play and swimming.

Aqua Sensory shares the principles of Montessori and is on a mission with a big vision to share the premise that; “The pool is more than a place to swim, it is also an aquatic classroom that is full of many sensory discoveries and play opportunities.” Jo Wilson.
