Ideas and Innovations In Early Childhood Education and Care is a think tank based in Watertown Massachusetts founded by Theodore (Teddy) Kokoros in 2018. All researchers and contributors to Ideas and Innovations In Early Childhood Education and Care are either teachers or parents of young children. While early childhood education and care is getting more attention from politicians and the media, too often those shaping policy and discussions related to early childhood education and care are not the people who are more directly involved with the work. This think tank’s goal is to share the research and perspectives of people who work directly with young children.
The following is a photo essay of 6 Pre-K students engaged in writing and drawing. The photos were taken during a free play portion of the day where children were allowed to pick whichever activity they wished. At the art table, children choose to write each other cards and pictures and make books. They used a chart with all their classmates pictures and names on it to guide their writing.
