The great blog, Urban Preschool, recently shared this video and I found it so inspiring, I just had to post it as well.
Now, how do we make sure Arne Duncan sees it? And every parent of an infant or preschooler?!
Play.
Child-centered.
Teachers that are trusted to do their jobs.
Real learning.
Did I mention play yet?!
Genius.

Great find! I love seeing so many adults with trust in a system that allows kids to play instead of worrying about preparing for reading, writing and math.

Amazing, hunh?!
I am so lucky that for so much of my early childhood ed teaching career, I have been able to be in play-based schools. (I am qualified to run my own school, and could plan that — just no desire to run a business.)
