I like using wooden blocks. I put the shape of the block on the shelf for a label so the children can match it to put it the correct place. It teaches shapes of what shape to put away first on the shelf.
I love all the loose parts implementation!! I have several books on how to set up the environment but it’s first time I see someone implementing it! ❤ it! Love all of the ideas
I loved this podcast! It was very detailed and specific. I have been in this field for over 20 years, and I learned some new things here. Are there other center area podcasts as detailed as this one?
Hi Vanessa! I really love your videos!! I have 2 questions for you. #1 Where did you get your chica-chica-boom boom alphabet tree? And #2 I have ages 2-5 in a mixed group. I do types of centers each day. The AM center time I will pick the partner teams and time my rotations around the room. I choose which centers I have out, and "working with teacher" is one of them in the rotation. This is where I do my informal assessments and individualized learning. When I choose the partner teams I know who will work best with less noisy conflict so my attention can be given to my small group. In the PM, I let them choose teams and go to "open choice centers" so they can have that free time to be more self-directed. What is your honest opinion of doing it this way? I'm always looking for critical thinking of my teaching strategies. Thanks so much!
Thanks for watching! The tree is from Lakeshore Learning. It sounds like you have a good system going in your mixed-age classroom. Keep up the good work!
I really want to watch your videos, there are so many which seem very interesting and informative. Unfortunately the 'boop' and sound effects which sound every time a word / phrase appears at the bottom is beyond distracting. Clearly this is not a common issue with your followers but it makes the episodes unwatchable to those with auditory processing issues.
I suggest listening to the audio only podcast version, there are no sound effects there. You can find us on your favorite podcast app, search for Elevating Early Childhood.

I have a daycare so it’s probably not applicable to a preschool, but I take a picture of any important builds and send to their parents.
Anna hats off to you! Honoring a child's work can come from all learning environments. Blessings on your Daycare business.

Love all of the ideas
Glad it was helpful!
I love your ideas, especially the natural items! I’m struggling to find room to fit all these different bins though!
I love how you setup ideas to keep the children maintained.
This video was fantastic! So much learning! Thank you for your time!
I was at target last Saturday and they had the wooden traffic signs in the dollar spot again for $3 per pkg

Do you put toys on a basket before putting them in the dishwasher?
it really depends on the toy. For small things, you can put them in mesh lingerie bags.
Where did you purchase the people?

I can’t imagine 20 plus kids in a classroom.
