from The Intentional ECE · host Cathy Belgrave
In this episode, Cathy sits down with artist-educator and consultant Jesús Oviedo to explore how materials act as a language of inquiry in early childhood education. Jesús shares how encounters with “intelligent materials” open pathways for children’s thinking, expression, and collaboration — and how educators, by paying attention to this dialogue, can deepen their own practice. Together, they reflect on the role of materials in shaping ideas, sparking curiosity, support inquiry and how educators can look at children’s artwork to understand the meaningful learning that’s in process.To learn more and/or connect with Jesús:https://www.materialearning.com/
