Sneak Peek at a new PEP Article - How Child Care Consultation Strengthens Early Childhood Classrooms!!!!

👀👀👀

Imagine you are a teacher at a child care center with a classroom full of three-year-olds. What do you picture?

Maybe one group of children is coloring at a table while another is playing with dolls and a dollhouse. So far, so good. You’ve got this.

In the corner, a little boy whose mother just helped him out of his coat clings tightly to her as she backs toward the door. His eyes fill with tears. He wraps himself around her legs, begging her not to leave. Okay, tricky, but you can probably reassure him and redirect him to the trains.

At the same time, you notice a child at the coloring table has climbed on top of it and is preparing to jump. You scoop him up and set him back on the floor as you move toward the trains. He immediately begins wailing and kicking. The boy at the door is now fully crying too.

Then you see two little girls pulling a stuffed monkey back and forth, shouting, “It’s my turn!” Their voices rise. Now they are both crying.

It feels like your classroom is falling apart, and it’s only 8 a.m.

This month, held its 10th annual March Madness Basketball Skills Competition. Why do we keep doing this? For students at PEP Prentiss, experiences like the March Madness competition are not extras. They are essential. They reflect a broader commitment to ensuring that every child has access to meaningful, developmentally appropriate opportunities to grow, connect, and succeed. It’s a powerful reminder of what becomes possible when the right supports, and the right opportunities, are in place.
