As adults we use shapes every day, although we may not realise it. Think about when we are arranging furniture, cleaning out the cupboard or fridge, this is all done by arranging according to the shapes that are in them; road signs and markings make extensive use of different shapes, helping us to identify them before we can actually read them. When a child explores different shapes, they are using basic educational development; the observation of same and different. This concept provides them with a basic process that they will be able to use in observing, comparing and discussing all that is seen and encountered. This resource will aid students in year one develop the skills to differentiate various shapes by recognizing their key features.
During the preschool years, children make great strides in understanding the thoughts and feelings of others, and they build on these skills as they form first friendships – special relationships marked by attachment and common interests (Berk, 2014, p.254). The Play Factory Preschool has a good location. It is really clean and quite. It has a good environment that children can play water in the playground. In the water play, the preschool gives children an environment to play water whatever they want to.
Playing with blocks, coloring, naps, and sidewalk chalk. All fond memories of life in pre-k. For most, preschool is a time of fun and games and making your first friends.

Thankfully, there are many options. “Kids should be going to pre-k because it helps kids prepare for the social, academic, and emotional demands of Kindergarten.
I’ve never really understand the early childhood curriculum until now. I believe early care and education had gone through a lot back in the late 1700’s through the early 1900’s but it came a long way. Back then there weren’t a lot of resources for children to play with and also being able to build they’re social, physical, and intellectual skills. But in today’s generation we have more than enough materials for the children needs to be meet individually.

Professor, Zmoda, I never really had a favorite children’s going as a kids, but I have read many interesting books. I own half of the Dr. Seuss collection. I remember reading books by Stan and Jane Berenstain and Bill Martin. I have read this about to share so many times to my son and his friends at daycare. Today, I would have brought in the book,called Tiptoe Into Kindergarten written and illustrated by Jacqueline Rogers.
Introduction “The sooner the better” is the ideal tag line for early childhood education. The experiences of children in their early years
“I fully agree with the position that preschool should proceed the elementary…” I feel that preschool can be a benefit to the children and parents. All children should have the opportunity to attend a decent preschool program. Preschool sets the stage for the child to gain the necessary social skills and the foundational academic skills. Never teaching below 5th grade I do have the utmost respect for the pre-k teachers. At the beginning of every school year when on my planning period I head down to the school mailboxes and they are at the pre-k end of the building, it never fails that almost every day there is a child wailing in the hall and the teacher calming them down.
As the expectations for children entering kindergarten rise, so should a child’s preparation for the concepts that they will be expected to know. More and more parents are making the decision to enroll their children into some type of preschool to help prepare them for kindergarten, and more and more of these students are succeeding in their early school years and even their later life. In fact, 61% of parents say that their children are enrolled in preschool, which has risen by 6% in just one year (Early Childhood Education Zone)! Kids that do not receive the opportunity to attend pre-kindergarten classes are not getting the chance to succeed at their full potential. Studies show that kids that do not attend pre-K are 60% more likely to

It should also be noted that many, Head Start preschool teachers are math anxious and their level of math anxiety prevents them from teaching mathematics to preschool aged children, including reasoning and cognitive thinking skills, as much as they should. It is critical for children to develop these reasoning and cognitive skills in order to be successful in future learning. In it’s current state of U. S. childcare centers, “the quality of emotional support in preschool classrooms appears relatively strong when compared to the quality of instructional support” Hirokazu, Y. (2016). Although emotional support is a very important factor in child development it certainly isn’t a basis to build a case for sending children to preschool away from their families and emotional centers.
The classroom that I will be observing is a Preschool classroom at KinderCare Learning Center in Bartlett, Illinois. The teacher I will be observing over the next period of time is Laura Sturgulewski. She has worked at KinderCare for 8 years, mostly in the 2 year-old room until fall of 2013, when she took the lead teaching position of the Preschool classroom. Her classroom mainly has 3 year-olds, but on occasion has a mix of 4 year-olds and transitioning 2 year-olds. The number of students in her class depends on the day, because they are a child care center some students have a part time schedule, unlike an elementary school where children attend every day.
