Early Childhood Development, Teaching and Learning

Reflective Practices and Strategies in Early Head Start

Reflective supervision and reflective parenting practices can be considered as the circle of support or the continuous relationships that allow caring for and supporting infants and toddlers to be the main focus in Early Head Start.

Learning at Home and Homelike Environments

This resource will teach home visitors, program staff, caregivers and other early childhood educators how to create a space that is welcoming and homelike for children.

Supporting Early Math Learning for Infants and Toddlers

Explore this News You Can Use where we discuss ways adults can be more intentional in how they support young children’s math learning and school readiness.

Importance of Play in Early Childhood

Play benefits every aspect of child development as infants and toddlers explore their world and their bodies, while also learning about and mastering relationships and social skills.

Play Space Assessment for Preschool

This tool helps to identify the strengths and needs of an existing play space, and serves as a basis for setting priorities and planning enhancements and improvements.

Affordable Settings and Elements: Ideas for Cost Effective Solutions

With a few easy-to-find materials and willing volunteers, many settings and elements can be created to greatly improve children's spaces.

Transition to Kindergarten: Why It Matters and How to Promote Success

Take a look at this overview of the “what, why, and how” of successful kindergarten transitions.

Higher Education Learning Modules

These learning modules are highlights of higher education courses from the EarlyEdU Alliance®. They go a bit deeper since they combine theory and the latest early childhood education research with students’ field-based learning.

Hearing Language Is Learning

Babies are born “citizens of the world.” Children can tell the difference between all the sounds in all the world’s languages at birth.

Growing Up as a Dual Language Learner

For an adult, trying to learn a second language can be a difficult task. Young children have a much easier time learning languages than adults. They learn language by having ample opportunities to hear speech from adults and peers.
