Subject: [Tricountydirectorsgroup] interesting article on importance of play

 

Thought you would appreciate this article..it says what I think we all
believe to be true..we should not be hammering formal education on little
children all in the name of "kindergarten readiness". Too many inexperienced
teachers (and parents) think they are doing a great thing by "teaching
children what they need to know before kindergarten"  through artificial
means such as repeatedly reciting Name and Address and Phone number, etc.
There are so many more effective ways to teach young children and PLAY is
essential to that learning.

Here is the link to the article.enjoy
