As a parent of a baby, toddler or preschooler have you ever asked "When should I start teaching my child? Is it too early?" No matter the age of your child between 0 and 6 years old, you have already started. Would you like to know how to support your child's learning? With fun and play?
Parents really are the first teachers and learning starts before children are even born. Your little ones have learned to talk, walk, explore, and communicate with your help. It may feel like they would do this anyway and that it is a natural process but your guidance has influenced their learning.
Barbara Allisen, also known as Mrs. A, is a kindergarten teacher, with years of experience in the classroom, and has witnessed the impact that parents have. She wants to support you as you help your child learn with ideas, tips, and suggestions for learning and play.
Mrs. A. says that "Gazillions of brain connections form in the early childhood years and parents can encourage even more. Early learning is crucial to both children's mind and mindset." To support your child to be a powerful learner you don't need to turn your house into a preschool, but your home can be a place for all kinds of fun and play that will encourage learning and development.
