Alrighty folks, welcome back to Season 4, Episode 27 on Transacting Value Podcast!
What if we told you that fostering creativity, critical thinking, and independence in children can be achieved through play and unique learning experiences? Today we're discussing our July core values of Independence, Freedom, and Initiative with Neely Myers, the Executive Director of the Creative Learning Alliance, an emerging children's science center, to explore their fascinating approach to learning. Neely shares her insights on the importance of extending the invitation of learning to children in different regions and how her work can provide valuable perspective for parents and educators alike. If you value creativity and discovery then this episode is for you.
In this engaging conversation, Neely reveals how she promotes critical thinking, executive function, and creativity in children through play, problem-solving, and a focus on individual strengths and values. We also discuss the importance of identifying one's own strengths and values when working with a group, and how to transfer those skills to a young age. Additionally, Neely shares her thoughts on the enneagram scale and how her primary value of uniqueness and authenticity has shaped her life.
Finally, we take a deep dive into the world of building a science center with standalone exhibits and educational opportunities, such as workshops, classroom experiences, and camps. Learn about the importance of giving children the space to learn, ask questions, and even fail, in order to cultivate a platform for innovative thinking - even in the moment of frustration.
