Technology, when used thoughtfully, becomes a powerful tool for children to actively learn 📸 It encourages observation, documentation, and sharing of discoveries and it allows us, the adults, to see the world through their lens! Our preschoolers went on a shape hunt within the centre, taking photos of what they found before sorting their images in a collaborative group space 🟢⚫️🟩⬛️ #earlychildhoodeducation #playbasedlearning #earlyyears #childdevelopment #littlepines #careforkids #learningthroughplay #preschool #preschoollearning #teachersfollowteachers #collaborationinchildcare #playislearning #startstrong #earlylearningmatters

Our words matter! What our children hear every day will shape how they see themselves and the world around them 🧠 It’s important to use words that will help them to build confidence, respect boundaries, feel loved and develop a strong sense of identity so they know they are safe and valued. ✅ Save this video as a reminder of what you can say to your child during times of connection or sprinkle these phrases throughout their day. #positiveparenting #littlepines #ourwordsmatter #earlylearningmatters #earlychildhoodeducationmatters #teachersfollowteachers #careforkids #gentleparenting #mindfulparenting #parentingtips #earlychildhoodeducation #childcarelife #eyfs #learningthroughplay #kidsdevelopment #consciousparenting
