Blue Valley Parents as Teachers

Gone Fishin’!🎣☀️🛶

A few of our Blue Valley Parent Educators are in Florida learning from the best, Dr. Becky A. Bailey, the creator of Conscious Discipline and a leading expert in childhood education!

Daily routines are one of the best ways to build skills through play and participation.😍

So much SCIENCE fun in our Next Steps classes this week!!! 🧲⚖️🔬🔍
Science is crucial in early childhood education because it fuels children’s innate curiosity, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and a lifelong love of learning. Through hands-on exploration of nature and materials, children build foundational cognitive skills, improve vocabulary, and develop the ability to make predictions and hypotheses.

PLAY is a process of observing, testing, trying, imitating, and enjoying the environment they are in and people they are with. PLAY is what children naturally do when given freedom, time, and space. PLAY is what children and young people do when they follow their own ideas, in their own way and for their own reasons. ❤️

Happy Mother’s Day!💕💐

Mother & Son Yoga makes for a fun home visit!!🩷💙
Yoga for kids improves physical health—enhancing strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination—while supporting mental well-being by reducing stress, anxiety, and improving focus, memory, and self-esteem. It also fosters emotional regulation, confidence, and discipline.
