👶 Montessori Preschools: Nurturing Infants with Walking Mirrors and Movement Balls! 🌟🔍 In Montessori preschools, a corner dedicated to infants aged 0-12 months showcases a profound understanding of early childhood development within the Montessori education system. Here, two key elements stand out: Montessori Walking Mirrors: Strategically placed at infant height, these mirrors are not just for fun. They play a crucial role in cognitive development, allowing babies to explore and recognize their reflections. This self-awareness fosters early identity formation and curiosity. Movement Balls for Eye-Tracking: Carefully chosen movement balls encourage infants to develop eye-tracking skills. As these colorful balls roll and bounce, they capture the babies' attention, enhancing their ability to follow moving objects with their eyes, a critical milestone in their motor and cognitive development. This thoughtful arrangement in the infant corner of Montessori preschools perfectly encapsulates the system's emphasis on nurturing each stage of a child's growth, using tailored tools like walking mirrors and movement balls. #MontessoriEducation #InfantDevelopment #LearningThroughPlay

🌟 "Quality Pre-School is More Than ABC"! 📚 As a parent and an advocate for education, diving into the world of Rita Bamba’s preschool classroom at Arcola Elementary truly resonated with me. This article highlights why high-quality pre-k education is crucial—not just for academic success but for nurturing social skills and creativity. I believe investing in accessible, top-tier preschool education is imperative. Every child deserves a strong foundation before stepping into elementary school, a place to thrive and develop essential early skills. What are your thoughts on preschool? Should it be accessible to all? Is it vital for later academic success? #PreschoolEducation #EarlyLearning #Equity https://lnkd.in/gQm6KQBD

Early childhood education fundamentally shapes how children approach learning. Investing in high-quality preschool helps children develop the essential skills they need to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. At RISE Education, our vision is to expand the accessibility of culturally rich specialty programs that encourage children to embrace unique perspectives, enrich their lives, and strengthen their communities. This insightful article from the National Education Association underscores the importance of preschool not just to introduce students to academic subjects like reading and writing, but to provide space for them to embrace creativity and self-expression.

👶 Montessori Preschool Corner: Enhancing Infant Development with Montessori Walkers and Sensory Toys! 🌱🔍 In Montessori preschools, a dedicated corner for infants aged 0-12 months is thoughtfully equipped with Montessori materials, fostering early development. This particular area integrates fundamental Montessori educational principles, focusing on sensory and motor skill development: Montessori Walking Mirrors: These are a staple in the infant area. Designed for babies learning to stand and walk, these mirrors help them recognize their movements, promoting self-awareness and physical coordination. Sensory Balls for Motor Skills: Sensory balls enhance eye-tracking and hand-eye coordination. As infants follow the movement of these balls, their visual tracking and motor skills are subtly honed. Cognitive Mirrors: Strategically placed at an infant's eye level, these mirrors are more than reflective surfaces. They encourage self-recognition and cognitive development, offering infants a new perspective of their surroundings. Rattles for Hand-Eye Coordination: Rattles are more than just toys in this setting. They serve as tools to improve hand-eye coordination. Grasping and shaking a rattle is instrumental in developing fine motor skills and auditory senses. This Montessori corner in preschools is a nurturing space where infants are introduced to sensory experiences, laying a solid foundation for their future learning journey. #MontessoriEducation #InfantDevelopment #SensoryPlay

BCD will launch a Transitional Kindergarten program starting in Fall 2024. Centering children's needs and enabling a path that is a best next step for them led BCD to create an option that will serve the social-emotional and academic needs of students who might not be ready for traditional Kindergarten. Transitional Kindergarten programs are designed to sit between the Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten. “One of the greatest benefits of Transitional Kindergarten is that it provides another option for parents (and teachers) who are struggling to commit to sending a child on to Kindergarten if they are concerned about Kindergarten readiness, yet are equally worried that the same child has already outgrown Pre-Kindergarten. It can be such a tumultuous decision for all of us, and having Transitional Kindergarten as another option is amazing,” Gemma Fagan, BCD’s Transitional Kindergarten Teacher.
