    Introducing LEARN Intensives, a new live virtual event series from ZERO TO THREE. Inspired by the innovation and thought leadership of the LEARN Conference, these interactive deep-dive sessions bring timely topics, emerging research, and leading experts directly to you. 

    Infant learning is shaped by the environments we create. This session explores how thoughtfully designed infant rooms can support autonomy, movement, and discovery. Participants will examine how restrictive equipment can limit development and consider alternatives that promote active exploration. Through examples and guided reflection, participants will learn how to design “tiny destinations” that offer meaningful visual, sensory, and physical experiences tailored to each child’s developmental level. Emphasis will be placed on creating flexible environments that evolve as infants grow and develop.

    Presenters:
