All In, Early Childhood Educators for Equity

What is Reggio-inspired inquiry? It's a powerful approach that honors children as capable thinkers and gives direction to their curiosity. Through open-ended materials and play, children don’t just participate, they question, investigate, and create meaning. Collaboration strengthens social skills, while documentation makes their thinking visible and valued. Project work deepens learning over time, naturally integrating skills across developmental domains.

Spring is a perfect season for projects! The growing grass project pictured here was inspired by children observing the grass outside. What are some other Reggio-inspired projects you recommend for spring?

The Netflix series "Adolescence" brings an intense spotlight to the vulnerabilities of boys around social and emotional expectations and pressures they face. Gendered norms and biases impact children from an early age. How can teachers and parents of young children understand and support boys in developing healthy male identities?

Join us virtually to discuss this topic on Wednesday, April 23 at 7pm. Register using this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcqc-CrqjsuGdDCusYcf3xF5Qxe6kTt9X1N

Happy new year! I rang in 2025 with my 83-year-old mom, whom I don't see regularly. As she deals with changes related to aging, it makes me think about how people are treated based on age, especially older people and also the young. This is from ageism.org:

"Children are the most vulnerable when it comes to ageism. Not because it will affect their day to day, but instead because the stereotypes they learn in their youth will be hard to break when they grow up. Between the media and the way our society functions, there is a good chance your children are learning ageism biases, and you hardly realize it."

Join us to discuss confronting ageism with young children at our next meeting for All In! Early Childhood Educators for Equity on Wednesday, January 8th at 7pm. This is a welcoming virtual space to study anti-bias educational best practices for teaching and parenting.
