I'm a teacher and mother of almost 25 years combined...I have been immersed in early childhood development for about 20 years.  I believe that our young children are the face and future of our nation! Keeping them active, interested and immersing them in activities that encourage engagement and curiosity help build confidence !  I hope you find helpful information, fun facts and encouragement in this blog.  You  do big things for little people and you have a passion for teaching which was instilled deep inside of you. You are weary, tired or perhaps in search of a way to get your students interested and keep them interested.  Buckle up! You're in for a whole new outlook on early childhood education in your classroom!

December Book Spotlight:

Kevin Henkes

​

Kevin Henkes is one of my favorite children's authors, hands-down. Kevin promotes
creative thinking and real world connections for young children. His words and illustrations help represent a young child's idea of the world and, at the same time; his words help kids ask questions about everyday objects, feelings and events that are applicable to the young child.
