Introduction to Play Therapy for Teachers | Short Course
About Course
This course is designed to introduce preschool and early childhood educators to the fundamentals of play therapy. Play therapy uses play as a medium to help children express their emotions, process difficult experiences, and develop problem-solving skills in a safe and nurturing environment. Teachers will learn how to integrate therapeutic play strategies into the classroom to support children’s emotional, social, and cognitive development.
This short course is not a therapy qualification but an enrichment course designed for teachers. It provides knowledge that can be applied in the classroom but does not qualify you to practice as a play therapist.
Another great course to suppliment this one that is our The Neurodivergent Preschooler | Short Course

Student Ratings & Reviews
Such a lovely course...teminology was well explained and matched my level of education and background well. I feel well equipped with what was learned.
Definitely one of the most interesting and educational courses i've done so far.
I enjoyed this course as it provided me with techniques on how to support my little ones in the class with their emotions.
Great Course!!
It was a great refresher! I have done a counselling course in the beginning of the year and this reinforced everything I learnt! The difference was that is was more in the necessary age groups.
This course was very informative and gave practical ways in which to implement in the classroom as well as evaluation methods
