Over Spring Break, my nine year old daughter asked me to take her to the bookstore to find a new book. My five year old, Camille came along; Camille did not qualify for pre-kindergarten at her school because of a January birthday, so she is enrolled in one of my Pre K Scholars classes. She [...]

She has a very strong grasp of the letters and their sounds and is able to work her way through sounding out some words. She is very excited to be able to look at a book and see more than just letters jumbled on the page.

Did you know?
The cost of a high quality pre-kindergarten program is $12,000 per year…putting quality pre-kindergarten out of reach for most middle class families with young children

April 6th, 2010Easter Egg Alphabet Match
April 1st, 2010Spring has sprung!
If signs of spring are not showing in the climate you are in, you’re sure to see them in almost every store you enter—plastic eggs line the shelves everywhere!

Fine motor fun
March 22nd, 2010If you’re the parent of a toddler attending preschool, a primary area of focus pertains to fine motor skills. Now is a good time to meet with your child’s teacher to discuss his or her areas of success as well as areas of concern. Your child is assessed on fine motor skills—there is often even [...]

Changing Course
February 25th, 2010I’m currently learning the meaning of the phrase, “time flies!”
I spoke of the New Year in an earlier post as a time of new beginnings, new goals, new outlooks for the future…all of those things that add up to make New Year’s resolutions such a universal term.
For me and my family, 2010 really is about [...]
Scissors and cutting: A lost home activity
February 5th, 2010“How many of you have scissors at home?” I always ask this on the first day of class, and I am always amazed at how few students raise their hands.
Scissors—and cutting—have become a lost activity in the home. Do parents not understand that cutting experiences enable the development of fine motor skills in the hands [...]
Technology your toddler is sure to love!
January 21st, 2010As I’ve mentioned before, having pre-kindergarten age children, I am able to assess technology not only from the perspective of a teacher, but also from the perspective of a mother. I can see first-hand what works and what doesn’t with my children; what captures their attention, what does not.
I am also able to assess what [...]
High Tech Toddlers
January 7th, 2010This holiday season, I gained a lesson in perspective.
My 11 year-old has an iTouch, which she graciously shares with her little sisters. Until recently, when one of my four year-olds would ask, “Where is my iTouch?” I would shudder—how indulgent it sounded! I mean, a four year-old with an iTouch…how ostentatious! I would die if [...]
Children and security blankets
December 10th, 2009Lost dog or found cat—now that I have seen. But while walking the other morning I actually saw a sign posted by a mother searching for her child’s missing stuffed animal! I was so amazed that I had to take a picture of it.
Although this seemed a little crazy, I must admit that I am [...]
Raising a Reader
October 26th, 2009How do you instill a lifelong interest in books in your children?
Modeling behaviors you wish to instill in your child seems to have the biggest impact. Hence, in raising a reader for life, I can’t place enough emphasis on reading yourself—read, and then read some more to your child! When it comes to reading to [...]
