Our "cozy corner" at the community preschool we
created in 2008. Such a magical spot, where learning
and community meet. There is a lot of push at this
time in the field of early learning to NOT have any
formality in the classroom. NO circle times, NO
storytime, NO direction given to children. We are
not following this new trend, though we do offer
many opportunities through the day for our littles to
be a big part of the curriculum. Instead of circle
time or story time, we invite our littles to the cozy
corner where we talk about the day, we share what
is happening outside our door, we read, we teach,
and through it all, the dignity and uniqueness of all
our children is respected and guided. I'm so very
proud and in awe of our crew for creating such a
warm and inviting space. Incredible dedication!
