I don’t care how many years of experience you have or what degree you hold. As a developmentally appropriate early childhood educator, it is our responsibility to continue to learn, to grow, and to show up as the best early childhood educator you can be. No matter the years. No matter the education. No matter the experience. You’ve got this! #DevelopmentallyAppropriatePractice #EarlyChildhoodEducation #PlayBasedLearning #ChildDevelopment #EarlyLearning #HandsOnLearning #WholeChildApproach #ECEducation #ChildhoodMatters #TeacherLife #LearningThroughPlay #EducatorLife #ChildLedLearning #InclusiveEducation #playislearningplayisenough #naeycconference #naeyc #caaeyc #ocaeyc

“Too often I think early childhood educators do this critical work without the pay, the respect, and the support you deserve.” Soledad O’Brien grew up in a house of educators and has been navigating the education journey with her own children. She understands the work, effort, love, and care educators pour into their work and students. She wants all educators to know they are seen, appreciated, and supported and will join NAEYC CEO Michelle Kang to help open this year’s Annual Conference, celebrating the impact of early childhood professionals and the vital role you play in shaping the future. Annual Conference is right around the corner 🥳 Register now through the link in our bio!

I’m telling you the truth! The bonds that are built with the staff and children are very valuable to me! I love that the children remember me; even after almost a year or more goes by. So…Don’t look for me…‘Cause I’m in somebody’s classroom minding my business. #ECEcircletime #ECEwithMsMelody #ChildcareCoach #ECEconsultant #NationalAccreditation #NAEYC #NAC #NECPA #NAFCC #COA ASCI #COGNIA

🚫 Stop making 3-year-olds write letters. According to NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children), writing in early childhood is a developmental process. It doesn’t start with tracing worksheets or perfect letters, it begins with scribbling, drawing, and invented spelling. These early marks aren’t “just play.” They are powerful stages of emergent writing where children learn that marks and symbols carry meaning. 👉 When we push letter formation too soon, kids can become frustrated, miss critical stages, and even lose confidence. Here are 5 literacy foundations for emerging writers that are fun and developmentally appropriate. 1. Make a Pretend Grocery List – Let your child scribble while you write. Their marks represent writing and carry meaning. 2. Invent Letter Forms – Encourage creating letter-like shapes, important early steps toward writing. 3. Retell Stories with Pictures and Puppets – Recreating tales builds narrative understanding and shows that symbols carry stories. 4. Draw as Journaling – Invite them to draw about their day. Over time, drawings become early journal entries. 5. Find Words in the Environment– Point out familiar labels or book titles. Recognizing that words carry meaning builds conceptual knowledge: NAEYC. ✨ The goal at age 3 isn’t neat letters. It’s building For more developmental tips made easy Follow ✨ @brightbeginningswithdanielle ✨ 👇 Comment “pencils down” for the link to my blog packed with playful, screen-free activities that strengthen little hands the right way. #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #preschoolparents #parentingtips #childdevelopment #naeyc #playbasedlearning #toddlertips #finemotorskills #earlyliteracy #preschoolteacher #preschoolathome #learningthroughplay #momtips #dadtips
