My early childhood education work – whether it’s in the form of keynotes, consulting, coaching, books, articles, or radio interviews – is primarily dedicated to the understanding, now confirmed through brain research, that active learning equals authentic learning. We have to teach to the whole child!

Rae Pica

5 Ways to Sneak Movement into the Curriculum

It’s really sad to have to talk about “sneaking” movement into the children’s day! Once upon a time, young children in an early childhood setting spent most of their days moving!
