During their early years, children are eager to learn and their brains are sponges for knowledge and understanding. This set of activities is a practical tool to promote the development of children and to support parents as they prepare their children for success in school and in life.
Based on current research in early childhood best practices, the activities are designed to extend the essential components of early childhood curriculum into the home and everyday life. The materials
required are simple items and inexpensive, or free.
Using the easy-to-follow guidance in this book, caregivers practice cognitive, physical and social-emotional learning experiences with their child, enriched with positive affirmations and praise of the whole child.
Each activity comes with an explanation of how/why it impacts child development, straightforward instructions, and parent-teacher communication built right in. This is not a workbook; it is a guidebook, with flexibility for various learning styles and settings.
Whether being used in conjunction with a school/childcare setting or independently, these hands-on activities for learning at home are created to encourage positive outcomes for young learners.
