Spotlight on Early Childhood Theorists
Maria Montessori: The Woman & Her Method
Just who was this woman who began an educational revolution that
changed the way we think about children more than anyone before or since?
Maria Montessori, born in 1870, was the first woman in Italy to receive a
medical degree. She worked in the fields of psychiatry, education and an-
thropology. She believed that each child is born with a unique potential to be
revealed, rather than as a "blank slate" waiting to be written upon. Her main
contributions to the work of those of us raising and educating children are in
these areas:
Preparing the most natural and life-supporting environments for the
child
Observing the child living freely in this environment
Continually adapting the environment in order that the child may fulfill
his or her greatest potential, physically, mentally, emotionally, and
spiritually.
She developed an interest in the diseases of children and in the needs of
those said to be ‘ineducable’ In the case of the latter she argued for the
development of training for teachers along Froebelian lines (she also drew
on Rousseau and Pestalozzi) and developed the principle that was also to
inform her general educational program: first the education of the senses,
then the education of the intellect. Maria Montessori developed a teaching
program that enabled ‘defective’ children to read and write. She sought to
teach skills not by having children repeatedly try it, but by developing exer-
cises that prepare them. These exercises would then be repeated: Looking
becomes reading; touching becomes writing. (See The Montessori Method).
The success of her method then caused her to ask questions of ‘normal’
education and the ways in which failed children. Maria Montessori had the
chance to test her program and ideas with the establishment of the first
Casa dei Bambini (Children’s house or household) in Rome in 1907. (This
house had been built as part of a slum redevelopment). This house and
those that followed were designed to provide a good environment for chil-
dren to live and learn. An emphasis was placed on self-determination and
self-realization. This entailed developing a concern for others and discipline
and to do this the child engaged in exercises de la vie pratique (exercise in
daily living). These and other exercises were to function like a ladder –
allowing the child to pick up the challenge and to judge their progress. ‘The
essential thing is for the task to arouse such an interest that it engages the
child’s whole personality’ (Maria Montessori – The Absorbent Mind: 206).
This connected with a further element in the Montessori program – de-
centring the teacher. The teacher was the ‘keeper’ of the environment. While
children got on with their activities the task was to observe and to intervene
from the periphery. (Here there are a number of parallels with Dewey).
The focus on self-realization through independent activity, the concern with
attitude, and the focus on the educator as the keeper of the environment
(and making use of their scientific powers of observation and reflection) – all
have some echo in the work of informal educators. However, it is Maria
Montessori’s notion of the Children’s House as a stimulating environment in
which participants can learn to take responsibility that has a particular
resonance.

Handling Stress
Do Infants and Toddlers Experience Stress?
This workshop examines the causes of
stress in infants and young children. Partic-
ipants will understand more about their
role in helping young children learn to calm
themselves when they are stressed. The
workshop covers both the danger of too
much stress in early life and the benefits of
learning healthy ways to deal with stress.

Communicating
Communicating focuses on the importance
of starting from birth talking to babies and
learning their cues. This workshop explores
how early communication between adults
and babies help babies learn strong lan-
guage skills and later learn strong literacy
skills.
September 2016
Exploring
Exploring focuses on why young children
open every door, chew on anything within
reach, and repeat favorite activities end-
lessly. This workshop will address creating
safe learning environments where children
are free to explore and how adults can help
lead children to learning activities.
Welcome to the Infant and Toddler Page!
Coloring on Sandpaper
Toddlers learn by using their senses. Encourage
a child’s sense of touch as well as sight when
creating art using sandpaper as the canvas! You
can even take the project a step further and use
an iron to transfer the drawing to paper or cloth.
Begin by taping the sandpaper onto a table and
lay out some crayons. Then, watch as your tod-
dler begins coloring on this new textured sur-
face. Continue allowing the child to color as long
as he shows interest.

sandpaper-activity-for-toddlers/
Slide Painting
Carry your indoor lessons outdoors with slide
painting. Place a child size slide inside a large
tub or small swimming pool. Tape paper (cut to
fit the size of the slide) on the slide and encour-
age the children to dip objects such as textured
balls, cars, trucks, pinecones, rocks, etc. into
paint to roll down the paper on the slide.

What About Manners? - Children’s Books that
Teach Good Manners
We teach young children many important things
every day. For many of us good manners are at the
top of our list of what we want them to learn. This
is understandable. Being polite and knowing how
to act in certain situations is a vital part of a happy
and successful life. This training will explore various
children’s books that focus on manners. We will see
how we can use these books as a teaching tool to
help young children develop those good manners.

Let’s Take it Outside—Playground Safety
The playground holds potential for great childhood
accomplishments as well as injury. Early childhood
education providers play a huge role in determining
which direction outdoor play will take. The outdoors
is the very best place for preschoolers to practice
and master emerging physical skills. It is in the
outdoors that children can fully and freely experi-
ence motor skills like running, leaping, and jump-
ing. The outdoors has something more to offer than
just physical benefits. Cognitive and so-
cial/emotional development are impacted, too.
Outside, children are more likely to invent games.
Although the children are only playing to have fun,
they're learning!
September 2016
Being A Professional
Passion for working with children is a cornerstone
in your line of work, but as an early childhood pro-
fessional, you also need to look the part, act the
part, and keep a positive attitude. Whether it is your
first day on the job or you have years of experience,
professionalism is essential for success as you
work with children, their families, and your col-
leagues. This training will explore what an early
childhood professional looks like.
Welcome to the Preschool Page!
Gross Motor Games and Activities for Preschoolers You Can Play with Two or More People
The Run-Around
One person gives directions such as “run to the big tree, touch the bark, and come back,” or “run over to
the slide, go down one time, and come back” or “run
around the tree three times.” Great not only for gross
motor skills, but for listening and following directions.
Egg Races
Using plastic eggs, race from one end of the yard to
the next holding the egg on a serving spoon (or a measuring cup or smaller spoon, depending on the
dexterity of your child). See how far your child can get
without dropping/breaking an egg. Try not to focus on
“winning,” but on having fun while walking with the
egg. A hilarious alternative to this game is to have the
children get on their hands and knees and push the
plastic eggs from one place to another using only their
noses. Sidewalk Chalk Simon Says
Draw large shapes, letters of the alphabet, numbers,
etc. using sidewalk chalk. Say “Simon says stand on
the yellow square,” or “Simon says sit on the number
5.” For more advanced kids, try multiple step instruc-
tions like “Simon says run to number 14, then hop
over to number 20.” This is a fun way to work on
recognition of higher numbers, lowercase letters, etc.
Jump the Brook
Draw two lines on the ground with sidewalk chalk (or
use ropes in the grass). Let your child try to “jump over
the brook.” You can move the lines together or farther
apart, depending on your child’s abilities.
Toe Pick-Up Take off your socks and shoes and pick up small toys
with your toes and put them in a bucket. For more
skilled preschoolers, try picking up all of the yellow
objects, then the blue, the red, etc.
Mother May I?
In this simple game, the direction giver stands on one
side of the room/yard, and the child(ren) stand on the other. The children take turns asking the direction
giver, “Mother, may I _____?” (i.e., take 3 giant steps;
hop 4 times; take 2 baby steps) The direction giver can
answer “Yes you may” or “No you may not” at her
whim. There are other variations of this game, use the
one that is the most fun for your child. Mother May I is
great for exploring limits and accepting compromise.

Is Child Care Your Job or Your Work?
As Directors, it is beneficial to explore how
to sustain your focus in supporting chil-
dren’s love of learning. Is this your job or
your work? How do you measure your suc-
cess? This training will examine the rela-
tionship between the way we think about
our purpose and what we do to achieve it.
August 2016 Using Your Emotions to be Effective
Leaders
Daily, we encounter situations that anger,
frustrate, upset, excite, motivate or inspire
us. We often temper these emotions with-
out realizing it. Emotions are the corner-
stones of change and growth. It is essential
for Directors, who are leaders of change, to
identify their emotions and use them genu-
inely. This training will identify emotions
critical to effective leaders and how to ex-
press them appropriately.

Child Care Providers in various counties. The
training sessions being offered this quarter are
Alabama Public Television (APT) courses on
professionalism in early child care and also on
challenging behaviors.
APT Training: Professionalism in the Early
Child Care Setting
The path to becoming an effective early child
care provider is an ongoing, life-long process of
learning, trial and error, and self-reflection. This
workshop is designed to provide you with practi-
cal guidance and tools you need to grow profes-
sionally. This session will focus on what it
means to be a professional early child care pro-
vider, how to implement effective communica-
tion strategies, ways to promote diversity within
your child care setting, how to be an advocate
for children, and steps for positive partnerships
with families. In this workshop we will identify
and describe skills you may already have as a
professional, and focus on how these skills can
develop to a higher level of understanding as
you apply them to your career in early care.
APT Training: Challenging Behaviors:
Where Do We Begin?
Communications in association with Mr.
Roger's Neighborhood. This workshop
seeks to help childcare providers under-
stand that it is possible to be optimistic
about helping children with challenging
behaviors. Participants will learn more
about "challenging" behaviors, begin to see
the child in new ways, and learn how to
support self-regulation in children through
a variety of strategies.
Welcome to the Family Child Care Page!
Creating Fireworks with Paint
Using left over cardboard rolls from toilet pa-
per, paper towel, or wrapping paper rolls.
Create different length ‘firework’ fans for paint
printing by cutting the cardboard roll strips
different lengths. Fan the strips out so tube
can press flat on the paper (see picture). Have
the children dip the tube into the paint and
twist the tube on paper for a spiral, circle ef-
fect.

Tin Foil River
With this activity you can have fun with water
and learn about water currents in streams or
rivers, how objects can be carried downstream,
and how dams block the water flow. Choose a
place in your yard that has a slope and is near
a source of water to construct a foil river out of
heavy duty foil. You may want to double the
foil for extra thickness to help with curling the
sides. Push the foil down lower in the center to
allow better water flow. Collect items to use in
your river such as small boats, twigs, leaves,
rocks, etc. Small rocks may be used to anchor
your foil river and to construct a dam. Place
your water hose at the top of your river and
allow a steady stream of water to run. If you
want to conserve water, place a bucket at the
end of your river to collect the water. Then,
have the children recycle the water.

appropriate practice and high effective appli-
cation and demonstration skills.

Teaching Diversity: A Place to Begin
How can we best prepare children to
meet the challenges and reap the bene-
fits of the increasingly diverse world they
will inherit? We can raise children to cele-
brate and value diversity and to be proud
of themselves and their family traditions.
We can teach children to respect and
value people regardless of the color of
their skin, their physical abilities, or the
language they speak. We will look at how
to diversify our classrooms.
August 2016
Sensory Integration
As early childhood professionals, we
must strive to create spaces that caress,
as opposed to assault young children’s
senses. Spaces that are conducive to
learning and prosocial behaviors are
those that are high in sensory engage-
ment rather than sensory overload. Sen-
sory engagement comes from the natural
incorporation of interesting items for chil-
dren to explore through their senses.
