Teaching Four-Year-Olds
November 3, 2010
Don't praise your furnace when the house is cold.
-Russian proverb
-Russian proverb
"When someone asks me what I do, and I answer that I am a teacher of four-year-olds. I sometimes get the response, 'What on earth can you teach them?' Many years ago, I would have answered by describing some of the science projects or the work with art materials, I did with children. Now it is different. I feel more secure in my own position. I tell them what I really do. I teach children about the world they live in, about themselves, and their peers. And I teach children about adults, trust, and love. I work with attitudes. I hope to inspire a love of learning. This is what I teach."

What does every young child need to be a well-adjusted, happy person? From Carol Hillman's years of experience and wisdom comes the answer: Help each child discover a world where play, creative freedom, self trust, and personal responsibility open the child's mind and heart to the excitement of learning and the enjoyment of sharing it with others.|

YES! Great book! We need more people to talk about what it means to teach 3 and 4 year olds. Especially with some of the curriculums that are being pushed in universal-preK. I want to say over and over again, We are teaching 3 and 4 year olds - this is an amazing wonderful time of life. We are not teaching 5 and 6 year olds. 6 to 12 months of growth and develoment represents huge differences in young children - teaching preschool is not teaching kindergarten. We need to keep talking about how different and unique 4 year olds are - we need to let our work reflect our understanding of this special phase of human development.
