Big concepts can be easier for young children to understand when observed in the world around them. Something as simple as a leaf creates opportunities to explore change and the natural cycle of life.

Enjoy a nature walk and collect leaves at different stages.

Give children time to handle, compare, arrange, and examine the leaves in their own way. Encourage them to observe and wonder.

- What do you notice about the leaves?
- What differences do you see? What stays the same?
- Why do you think leaves change?
- What do you think will happen next?
- What questions do you have about what you see?

Build an understanding of nature’s life cycles while inviting curiosity for the world around them.

“For most of us, knowledge of our world comes largely through sight, yet we look about with such unseeing eyes that we are partially blind. One way to open your eyes to unnoticed beauty is to ask yourself, ‘What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?’” - Rachel Carson (1956)

Behind every classroom meltdown is a child who hasn't yet learned how to cope with big feelings. Frequent tantrums or outbursts often mean that children feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to manage their emotions. In busy early childhood classrooms, these moments can be tough for both children and educators.

So, how can you turn moments of chaos into calm in early childhood classrooms—or prevent them before they even begin?

Creating a calm-down space offers children a safe, supportive place to pause, express their feelings, and reset. Keep reading to explore the benefits of calm-down spaces and how to create an area that promotes calm, security, and emotional growth.

Read more about why calm-down spaces are important for young children in the article Calm-Down Spaces: Why Every Classroom Needs One.

☀️✏️ Turn a sunny day into a simple science investigation with shadow tracing!

Invite children to place an object in the sunlight, trace its shadow, and experiment with repositioning it to see the shadow change.

It’s all fun and games – once an expert plans your new playground.

A playground is more than a collection of equipment. It’s an opportunity to create an accessible and intentional space for imagination, movement, discovery, community, and growth for children with a variety of developmental needs.

Our playground specialists design with your program, your goals, and your children in mind.

At the new playground at Shallowford Square in Lewisville, North Carolina, you see these possibilities come to life.

Children can take the pilot’s seat and let their imaginations soar, engage in a sensory experience with rhythmic instruments, learn to make connections with sign language, scale a rock wall, discover why gears work, and find new ways to move and explore. Thoughtful pathways, surfacing, and access mean ALL children can more easily participate in the fun.

Build your outdoor spaces with intention.

Decades of research have shown that students are more successful when families are more involved, but increasing family engagement can be difficult, even for experienced educators. There are a variety of obstacles that influence the school-to-home connection, which makes it even more important for educators to identify those obstacles early and work to create strategies that address those issues. Effectively removing family engagement obstacles will help educators and families work together to dramatically improve students' proficiencies and skills.

There are many types of family engagement events and activities - home visitation, conferences, family education classes, family workshops, family meetings, and volunteering just to name a few. While a single approach won't work for all of the families in your class, a combination of approaches can help you create a family engagement strategy that attracts and encourages family involvement.
