Review: Exceptional resource for early childhood educators! - What a wonderful resource for early childhood educators whether they are creating environments focused on STEM, language, literacy and/ or any aspect of children's development, understanding of the world or just plain engaged FUN! I have given this to several close friends who work with young children and I will continue to do so. As one reviewer commented, there are some many ideas for us grandparents who want to provide rich, nurturing spaces for our beloved grandchildren. Thank you, thank you for this well-written, well-researched guide! Review: Not just for preschool teachers! - While this book is written for preschool teachers I read it as a babysitting grandparent looking to enrich my grandkids' time with me. I have totally changed my approach to more open ended, exploratory STEM activities. We are all happier!
