The opportunities for learning are endless during the first 5 years of a child’s life. As educators, we are privileged to have a front seat to so many of these opportunities. Think about the activities you do in your program or classroom to foster skill development. What types of skills do you focus on, social emotional skills, language and literacy, fine motor skills? What about math? Math is often misunderstood in the early childhood classroom. Some educators may feel that the children in their care are not ready to learn math concepts, while others may only be looking at concepts such as counting or shape recognition. Some educators may not feel confident in math themselves. Relax! There are so many opportunities to help educators feel more comfortable introducing math concepts in the early childhood classroom, including activity ideas and training, and we are here to help you get started!
