Leading an Early Childhood Center Can Feel Like a Delicate Balance

A child-care program director must wear many hats and multitask daily. In this incredibly important and rewarding job, there are times when a program director may feel alone or like they are the only ones experiencing challenging situations. The Early Childhood Director’s Guide to Solving Everyday Challenges, a new resource book written by Thomasa Bond, EdD, examines real-world issues experienced at actual child-care centers. Drawing on her years as a child-care licensing consultant and her extensive personal experience as a director, Bond describes scenarios and shares positive resolutions to these situations. Whenever possible, it offers the perspectives of the director, teacher, and parents.
Learning Environment Impacts Birth to 3 Learning & Development

Classroom learning environments can have a huge impact on the ways children learn, develop skills, gain confidence, and make connections. Even for very young children – infants, toddlers, and two-year-olds – environments help shape their learning. Enticing Environments for People Under Three, a new resource book written by Laura Wilhelm, EdD, shows educators how to strive to see people under three as intently as they see us.
A Loose Parts Mindset Promotes Active Learning in Early Elementary Classrooms

Have you ever wondered why children are so drawn to playing with sticks, rocks, and cardboard boxes? These items are examples of open-ended materials in the environment, or loose parts. Educators have learned that given the opportunity to experiment with loose parts, students can grow socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively. Loose Parts Learning in K-3 Classrooms, a new resource book written by Carla Gull, EdD, Suzanne Levenson Goldstein, EdD, and Tricia Rosengarten, PhD, explores how applying a loose parts mindset promotes active learning in early elementary classrooms (grades K-3), enhancing curriculum and ensuring connection to state standards.
‘Making’ is the Newest 21st Century Skill

A makerspace is a place for individuals to explore a variety of items, including creative-art materials, electronics, technology, woodworking materials, and recycled and upcycled materials. It’s a place to engage the senses and to manipulate materials from their current state into something only the maker can imagine. Making Space for Preschool Makerspaces, a new resource book written by Robin Marx-Mackerley, MS, Teresa Byington, PhD, Sarah E. Wright, MEd, and Cathryn L. Peshlakai, MEd, explores how educators of young children ages 3-6 can make space for a makerspace in early childhood settings.
Early Math Development Crucial for Academic Success

According to international research, there is an overwhelming need to focus on appropriate early math development. Math is a strong predictor of future academic success and is critical to providing strong, firm foundations to young children that lead to lifelong learning. However, most early childhood educators have received very little formal training in math for the early years (ages 3-5). The Path to Early Math: What Preschool Teachers Need to Know, a new resource book written by Ingrid Crowther, EdD, bridges this gap in teacher-preparation programs. With a distinct focus on language acquisition and vocabulary enhancement, each chapter describes how to set up an appropriate learning environment to support interactions and activities related to the skills discussed.
