I was surprised that some of the research done was how children learn through play. The research was very similar to what we are doing in early childhood development.

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed early childhood Australia website. Their website is very interesting and useful; it really helps early childhood educators to understand the importance of play in children’s development. It helps teachers guide children to make choices, and encourages them to learn and expand their experiences through play. In fact, early childhood Australia website presents valuable information and resources that benefiting children, families, and educators.
Teresa, I too looked into the Early Childhood Australia website. Did you look into the publications and media releases? They too were very interesting and beneficial to look into.
ReplyDeleteTeresa,
ReplyDeleteI also browsed the ECA website. Very intriguing website. I also was very interested in their advocacy for learning through play. I, myself, am a big advocate for structured play and hands-on learning. There is a wealth of information available for anyone involved with children from birth through eight years old. It was also interesting to learn that boomerangs originated there ;)
