Check out this mathematical chef! 🧑‍🍳 After placing his “chicken” in a toy microwave he serves as his own timer - counting aloud to ten. (His articulation and number knowledge are still developing, but there’s little question what he’s saying.) My favorite part is what happens

“Can you skip count?” “Skip counting” is a term commonly used in elementary mathematics instruction to describe counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s. Mom tries to sneak in a little lesson here, without much explanation of the term… and our hero complies with the request just as he

Happy Global School Play Day! 🎉 As our SciEPlay team can attest, play isn’t a distraction from learning… Play IS learning. When children play, they explore, collaborate, and problem-solve, like scientists and engineers. Global School Play #GSPD2024 #SciEPlay #NSFfunded @ThatRileyMiller

Grateful to be part of the #SciEPlay team! We are lucky to collaborate with early childhood educators who support science sensemaking through play. Excited to share their brilliance with the #SciEd community. Kate Cook Whitt @ThatRileyMiller

Early childhood is an apprenticeship. Young children enter the world with amazing powers of observation and they train them on their parents with a singular goal: to be just like them. It’s a big responsibility. And can be humbling. But also a sheer delight. Check out this

Here’s some A+ parenting. 🏅 What you’re seeing is an example of sensory play. As your baby grows, one of the most important things you can do for them is to provide safe and varied opportunities to use their senses (sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell) to explore the world.

Your child is always watching. Listening. Learning. And they want nothing more than to be like you. Check out this little guy who’s joined his dad for a little jog, which he’s decided is the key to becoming muscular like his father… even pausing mid-run to check whether

Reading with your baby is about so much more than the book. It’s a time for bonding and connection. For laughter, love, and language learning… There are so many great things happening as this father and daughter share a board book together. Watch our hero, as she splits

The period from prenatal to three is the most uniquely consequential window in all of human development. It is during this period that the fundamental architecture of the brain is “wired” in ways that will serve to support - or hinder - your child’s longterm success in school

Q: How much should you assist your toddler? A: Only as much as they need to avoid frustration and find success. After 8-12 months of near total dependence, toddlers unlock a whole new world in which they have the language, cognition, and motor skills to begin acting on their

Did you know nature play boosts sleep, self-regulation, and science learning? 🌱 #SciEPlay partner Dr. Rachel Larimore shares the benefits of nature-based early childhood education in a new blog post: tinyurl.com/yxjnkn4j #ECE #SciEd #NaturePlay #NSFfunded
