[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the thoughtful approach to play based instruction in the nursery program at St. Patrick's. The teachers are able to really clearly explain to parents what each form of play is doing for their development and seems to treat each child as an individual. They are meeting every kid where they are and it shows. [/quote]

[b]I'm sorry, but do parents really have to have this explained to them?[/b][/quote]
Unfortunately, there are lots of play-based learning skeptics around here.  So...yes.[/quote]

Yes, it is helpful for teachers to walk parents through the pedagogy behind their work. It can help parents refine what they are doing with their children at home, connect more deeply to why play based it so important and also allows the teachers an opportunity to continue to remind high strung parents why it is ok that their 3 year olds aren't sitting in desks and doing handwriting.

If you were a professional, wouldn't you want the opportunity to connect with and explain your work to key stakeholders? [/quote]
