Barton Community College will offer the early childhood education course, Child Play and Games, in partnership with North Central Kansas Technical College beginning March 10.

The class will meet from 6:30 to 8:45 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, March 10 through May 12, on the NCKTC Hays Campus. Students will learn the importance and development of play, learning attitudes and environments.

They will learn the importance of movement in relation to what children learn, and that play environments should encourage children to explore, imagine, invent, and express feelings. Projects will include parachutes, music, art, bean bags, stories, songs and nursery rhymes. Instructor is Kris Schulte.

Child Play and Games is a three-credit-hour course. Students may qualify for Federal Financial Aid and/or other scholarships and tuition assistance. Anyone interested in this program may contact Barton’s Early Childhood Program toll free, 866-813-2462, or NCKTC, 785-623-6152.
