Our minds function best when engaging life itself. #playbasedlearning #earlylearning #earlychildhoodeducation #preschool
No one has ever lived a joyful life unless they have spent it accomplishing meaningful things, shoulder-to-shoulder with others. #playbasedlearning #earlylearning #earlychildhoodeducation #cooperation
This is why I worry every time an adult dismisses a child's boredom as "a good thing." A little bit is necessary. A lot, like the degree to which many experience boredom in standard schools, can be deadly. #playbasedlearning #earlylearning #earlychildhoodeducation #preschool #boredom
Utopia is not a destination, but rather an act of one human caring for another in their time of need. Actual utopia is created in moments of kindness. #PlayBasedLearning #EarlyLearning #earlychildhoodeducation #Preschool
When children start feeding each other's behavior in this way, more often than not they are doing one of three things: 1) seeking intensity, 2) seeking collaboration, 3) testing the boundaries of the community, all of which represent healthy developmental impulses. #playbasedlearning #preschool
I'm not saying this is an easy thing to do, but becoming the person we want to be will never happen if we wait until we feel like that person. Action is character. The rest will follow. #playbasedlearning #earlylearning #EarlyChildhoodEducation #preschool

Thirteen colleges across the state will lose their programs if this cut happens, leaving thousand of families without the kind of support they count on to not just raise their children, but to do so within the context of the kind of village that every child deserves. #playbasedlearning #preschool

Play-based learning engages both the mind and the body. One simple, powerful way teachers do this is through energisers: short, fun activities that help children reset, refocus and get ready for the next task.

In the early years, we're are all familiar with this phenomenon. One disruptive child can be absorbed into the group, but when two or more start connecting with one another a new social center of gravity is created. #playbasedlearning #earlylearning #earlychildhoodeducation #preschool

If we take our responsibilities seriously, we get quite good at reading body language, because we all know that when it comes to young children verbal language often doesn't get us anywhere. #playbasedlearning #earlylearning #earlychildhoodeducation #preschool
The behaviors that are most likely to get young children in trouble with their teachers are socializing and goofing around, which are, contrary to our school-ish myths, natural manifestations of thinking. And thinking, I hope, is our goal. #playbasedlearning #earlylearning #earlychildhood #preschool
In these early years, the tools they need are ones that create space for curiosity and wonder, that help them think like a human, not a machine. #playbasedlearning #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #preschool
