Remote Learning in Early Childhood
Remote Learning in Early Childhood Young children learn best in the context of relationships and through play-based, hands-on, and engaging activities. In their early childhood classrooms, the relationships they develop with their teaching teams and caregivers are crucial to their development and learning. Additionally, the toys, games, and other materials in their classrooms support discovery and exploration – an essential component of early learning. For these reasons, remote learning for young children is centered around helping families, caregivers, and children connect and engage in joyful, fun, play-based activities that build on children’s natural curiosity. Supporting Remote Learning During this time, it is particularly important to consider how we support families and children in having safe, nurturing and predictable experiences. Children rely on their daily routines, including seeing their teaching team each day they come to school. At this time, our goal is to ensure smooth transitions from learning in a classroom to learning at home. During times of uncertainty and stress, it is important to maintain strong attachments to help children remain resilient and thrive. Together we can successfully support children and families by helping children feel connected to their early childhood program and teachers. When planning how best to maintain connections with children and families, teaching teams should consider the needs and circumstances of their classroom community. Considerations include:
