For the first post on my blog I thought I would write why I am so passionate about early childhood education and believe it is so important that children attend school early.  Early childhood is a crucial time for children to learn because this is when they develop the foundation of their brain for learning during the rest of their lives. The things children learn during these years play a very important role in the proper development of children. Children learn by exploring their environment and watching people in everyday life. During the early years of childhood, children best explore and learn through playing.

Here is my favorite poem I thought I share

about what we all learned in kindergarten. 

 All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten

by Robert Fulghum

  Most of what I really need


To know about how to live


And what to do and how to be


I learned in kindergarten.


Wisdom was not at the top


Of the graduate school mountain,


But there in the sandpile at Sunday school.



These are the things I learned:



Share everything.


Play fair.


Don't hit people.


Put things back where you found them.


Clean up your own mess.


Don't take things that aren't yours.


Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.


Wash your hands before you eat.


Flush.


Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.


Live a balanced life –


Learn some and think some


And draw and paint and sing and dance


And play and work everyday some.


Take a nap every afternoon.


When you go out into the world,
Watch out for traffic,


Hold hands and stick together.


Be aware of wonder.
