In the early years of a child's life, every moment is an opportunity for growth and learning. At Eyes Koala Kidz, we recognize the critical role that early childhood development plays in shaping a child's future. From the moment a child walks through our doors, they embark on a journey of discovery, exploration, and development. https://lnkd.in/eK9Cvh7e

Can you smell the pine trees, feel the fresh water, hear the crickets, the song and the laughter? Summer camp… Sleep away summer camp was one of my most formative experiences, and for our two children, it was LIFE-CHANGING. Like the best Montessori programs, most great sleep-away summer camps are screen-free, hands-on, real-life experiences for children. They invite independence, learning to get along with others, and that special blend of challenge and relaxation that makes us feel alive, complete, and deeply happy. With scholarships and efforts to include all children, camp can be an option for YOUR family; I highly recommend searching for one today, and enrolling for this summer! (Personally, I recommend day camps for children roughly ages 6-9, and sleepaway experiences for children 12 and older–but some are ready to go away at age 9 or 10, and some need to wait until their teens–every child is unique, there’s no one-size fits all! Ask trusted camp staff for advice on determining readiness for your situation and their specific camp). The excellent article below touches on why kids need camp in today's cultural onslaught of stress, social media, screens, anxiety and depression, now more than ever: #summercamp #keewaydintemagami #trysomethingnew #montessoriathome #screenfree #screenfreeforkids #kidsandscreentime #getawayfromscreens #jonathanhaidt #afterbabel #camps #sleepawaycamp #michaelthompson #lifechanging #familylife

Supporting the growth and development of under 5's in Mangere

Today our Kindergarten Class kicked off the first of many "Wandering Wednesdays." Baker Learners are able to be outside, learning through play, in their community. Baker's foundation is rooted in play and experiential learning which is at the forefront of today's discussions on relieving young children through adolescent stress and anxieties. Jonathan Haidt, states, "Play - especially outdoor, free play - is not just a way for children to have fun. It's how they practice adult skills, earn to manage risk and develop social competence." Take a look at a Wandering Wednesday video to see this program in action: https://lnkd.in/gCQXekf6

In the world of early childhood education, we’re all about planting seeds for the future.

Share your wisdom and let’s sprinkle a little inspiration into the conversation and keep those policy discussions as lively as a kindergarten class on a field trip!
