Preschool Education & Everything Preschool

When I began teaching my children the Alphabet as Toddlers I found that using Alphabet Coloring Pages was one of the most effective way to teach the Letters of the Alphabet to my children. I already knew that they loved to color, so why not teach them the letters in a way that I know will hold their focus more than 2 minutes. So, I started printing off alphabet coloring pages from the internet and I was off to start teaching my children the alphabet.

My young Preschoolers-To-Be had no idea that they were going to begin a Lesson. For all they knew they were going to have fun coloring…. and they were right.

By doing this, you encourage a life long interest in the world around your child which will contribute to all levels of learning. And, if your child is interested in science, your child will be more interested in life in general!

Here are just a few ideas for including science in your preschooler’s daily life:

Summer is a terrific time of year but it can also feel like a long season. This is especially true for parents who are home with their kids all day because the days of summer are long and it’s sometimes hard to fill them with enough activities to keep everyone entertained and happy. If your kids are of school age, they probably want to have friends come over to play and then you’ve got the problem of additional kids who are complaining that they’re bored during the hottest hours of the day. Most of the time, the summer is great, but if you need to shake a little bit of fun into it to get the excitement back then you might think about planning a Summer Party.

You can pick just about any theme and run with it for planning your summer kids’ party, but here are some ideas to get you started:

But what really matters more; that the laundry all got done and folded or that you got to spend some time with the people that you love?

It just takes a little bit of organization, a willingness to let a few things go sometimes in order to be with your family and the will to make it work.
