Early childhood educators are supporting increasingly complex needs around children's development, regulation, movement, play, attention and participation, while also carrying enormous responsibility themselves.
This community is a place to bring our practical knowledge together. Share the little things that work in your room, ask another educator what they are doing, and help us keep useful early childhood practices alive.

Explore conversation →Finger plays, clapping games, body percussion, familiar songs and simple rhythms that help children connect and participate.

Both are valuable. The aim is not to create another place where educators feel they have to perform. It is to make it easier for us to learn from each other.
