Education and Training
At Kodo, we believe that play is the innate language of childhood. Children are naturally curious, inventive, and eager to explore their world through play. Supporting this exploration in intentional, meaningful ways requires thoughtful practice. That’s why we offer a suite of education and training opportunities to help educators harness the power of play and lead enriching learning experiences for children.
Over the years, we’ve heard a consistent message from educators: they want to support authentic learning through play but often feel underprepared. Our resources, courses, and webinars were created to fill that gap with hands-on strategies, real-world insights, and a supportive community.
