Every Day Counting Tips for Preschoolers and Toddlers

Easy  Ways to Teach Your Child to Count
I was a teacher in public and private schools for many years. I enjoy challenging my students and watching their progress over the school year. In the beginning of my career, Ive had a couple of students that required me to consult more veteran teachers. I learned so much from these teachers and they helped me to become the educator I am today. My biggest challenge is my OWN toddler. My oldest son is inquisitive, curious, highly intelligent but EXTREMELY STUBBORN. He loves to learn but on his own terms and on his own time. Yes, during learning time he will tell me, "Not yet." He is almost 3 now (in a week) but he has such a dominant personality. Learning at this age should not be in a traditional school type atmosphere. Of course, years of teaching has taught me this. However, I was encountering some resistance if I set up an invitation to play where I am expecting a specific learning outcome. As a mom, I had the unique advantage to individualize and tailor my approach to suit my toddler. This is the beauty of homeschooling your child: No one knows your child better than you!!! You can figure out unique ways to get your child to pay attention without them even realizing!!! 


Learning should be natural, interesting, and consistent. Take advantage of learning opportunities wherever they may arise. Check out the video for some learning inspiration.

Sensory Play Ideas

What is Sensory Play and Why is it so Important? Sensory/Messy play occurs when your child is interacting with tactile items that stimulate any of their five senses ( hearing, touch, smell, taste, sight). Sensory play engages your child’s senses which helps them explore and learn about the world. Sensory play builds nerve connections in your child’s neural pathways which develops their cognitive thinking skills.

Preschool Transition Tips and Songs

What is a transition? A transition is a period where you are moving from one activity to another. Transitions can be a trying time and the hardest part of your day. But it doesn’t have to be. Transitions need to be consistent (scheduled) and as short as possible. Children often act out when they are waiting too long for the next activity to start. Minimize your transitions so that your children are not waiting longer than 5 minutes. Fill the time with a song appropriate for the activity- sing a song about food during lunch time, sing a clean up song after center time, sing a goodbye song at dismissal. Planning your transitions in advance will make your life and your child’s life a lot easier. Choose a song or phrase for each activity so your child will know what to expect. Singing the same song or playing a song for a particular activity will provide your child with stability and a sense of control. There are so many things out of a child’s control that they often resist transit...
