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!

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.

July 2016

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.

Welcome to the Director Page!

September 2016

24 Hour New Director Training

During the month of September,

Child Care Central will be offering

24 hours of training for new direc-

tors! These training sessions will be

held on the first three Tuesdays of

the month of September, 9/6/16

(Day 1), 9/13/16 (Day 2), and

9/20/16 (Day 3) from 8:30AM—

5PM at the main office in Hunts-

ville. The trainings are designed for

new directors; however, they are

open for ALL directors to attend,

including assistant directors. Each

course will focus on high quality

strategies to effectively and effi-

ciently operate a child care facility.

There will be a different, 8 hour

certificate for each day of training.

As with our Basics in Child Care

course, you must attend the entire

day of class to receive your certifi-

cate and credit hours. Additional

information regarding the details of

these training sessions will be sent

to providers on our mailing list in

August. We hope to see all of our

directors in attendance!

FCC Training This quarter, FCC Saturday will once again be

held at the Decatur-Morgan Entrepreneurial

Center in an effort to serve all of our Family

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.

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.

Advanced Training

Advanced training is training for professionals

who have at least three (3) years of experi-

ence and 30 credit hours in child develop-

ment. Advanced level training focuses on a

more thorough knowledge of developmentally

appropriate practice and high effective appli-

cation and demonstration skills.

July 2016

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.
