"You better not dig too deep because then you might get to the lava and it will erupt on us." The diggers paused to reflect on that, then decided that this was exactly what they were going to do, dig to the molten core to release the lava. #playbasedlearning #earlychildhoodeducation #preschool

We teach them that while they should strive to be themselves, they can't do it in school, in church, in a theater, a museum, or, frankly, pretty much in any public space. #playbasedlearning #earlylearning #earlychildhoodeducation #preschool

We KG teachers turn everyday materials into teaching tools
Learners are developing early literacy skills by shaping the letter “s” using eggshells. Coloured, & broken into small pieces, they become a hands-on resource that helps children recognise patterns & build letters.

Western science tells that sweet-smelling sights are not objective aspects of reality. Tens of thousands of years of human experience, and every young child, begs to differ. #playbasedlearning #earlylearning #earlychildhoodeducation #preschool

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

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

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
