The Pop-Up Preschool: Teaching Children in the Places They Live

This week Kathy shares how to turn your home into a pop-up preschool over a weekend. Kathy encourages parents to use items from home instead of running out and buying store bought “educational” items. Kathy suggests focusing on developing the whole child by offering a variety of invitations to play throughout the day. The following are the areas of development that should be included in your pop-up preschool:• Books• Sensory Experiences • Language Arts / Writing Area• Math / Manipulatives / Fine Motor• Science Basket • Outdoor / Gross Motor• Art• Self-Help For more information, check out Kathy's book, The Homegrown Preschooler and curriculum guide A Year of Playing Skillfully.
