It almost brought her to tears. As parents we all need to voice our ideas of what preschool should be like, and stay informed of exactly what our teachers are and are not allowed to do.

No way would I have liked our daughter to go through the USA school system. Specially when the kids only USA English. Here in Switzerland kids go to the state school, walk there - no mom /dad driving them by car. By age 10 they speak Swiss German, German, French and English. Plus the level of general education is in fact very high. We differentiate between what is arithmetic and mathematics. We do not lump it under one name/word. Plus our universities are not costly. We do not have school shootings either.

@@twinkharrylwt226 I'm not saying children shouldn't have that. I'm saying that the Montessori philosophy and curriculum offers materials that are not "play-based." In Montessori, it's called "work" and they don't have dramatic play areas, dress up, dolls or anything like that in their classrooms (at least a true Montessori room would not have these.) Parents don't often see an issue with this because the children can play with toys at home. If you have an issue with that, take it up with Maria Montessori, not me.

This is how it is in the suburbs not in the inner city. The system is not set up inner city schools to thrive and be productive. Between the administration tying your hands when it comes to discipline, choosing to constantly label the kids as problem kids, parents not actively choosing or being able to choose to participate it's so many factors and it's only getting worse. I really wish society cared more about poor people getting educated so that the cycle could be broken instead of perpetuating it's continuance.

@microbios8586

I don't see it that way. "Poor" schools are simply schools where the parents haven't and are not doing their job at home. Those kids need teachers to be the parents they never had (people who make boundaries and are consistent). Their teachers are forced to set and enforce explicit limits that the parents never do. It's necessary but unfortunate. This places kids in a corner that is often very restricted. The alternative is...well there is none. You can't have total freedom at home and semi freedom at school. The compromise is very restricted environment at school to combat the madness at home.

Yeah, i live in a very poor school, in a very drug and violence dominated area. And we recently had a discussion on does everyone have the same chance at life? And we all answered no because we know thats not true. People with money can do more things that help them out better. Some examples include tutors and they can also send them to schools like the one showed in the video. One of my best friends dropped out today because he had to work more hours in order to earn money for food and rent. Its a shame because he was one of he smartest people i know, like design a computer smart. I just wish all kids had the same opportunity to do great things.

My daughter goes to a Reggio Emilia preschool and it's setup exactly like this. It is AMAZING. All the local elementary schools know which children came from her preK, they stand out. The waiting list to get in is 2yrs long. Why aren't ALL preschools like this? Every child deserves this chance. Not just those of us who are lucky/can afford the cost.

Wonderful teacher and wonderful program, but the contempt with which she says 'daycare' is really sad. As a childcare teacher with a degree in early childhood education, I implement many of these same practices in my classroom curriculum. The only difference is that I have my children for a longer day. We need to stop treating childcare centers as less than. Sure, there are many that are 'just babysitting,' but there are so, so many that have excellent programs and are simply extended day preschool.

Jess Fedor yes I agree that happens so much. I worked at a daycare, now I work in an elementary and I can tell in job interviews the ones who considered it less than!!! “oh a daycare.” My daycare was actually a child development center and we do similar things... I have so much respect for ladies in daycare or child development centers they work their butts off and yes have less time to plan because they have very little off time to do so.

I absolutely love the concept of "project approach", you can really see how that young boy that was hammering is already engineered inclined. I also love the open-end interactive objects, and the student led discussion on the cumulus. All of these concepts are really helping children to develop critical thinking skills very early on. Which helps to develop problem solvers, better performance on standardized testing, and life choices.

What is great about this school is that it doesn't seem to have to worry about being sanitary 24/7. The kids are allowed to explore and lead the learning. In California, we have so many rules about being sanitary, I think its too much.

I definitely think that when I have a child, I’d like to take them to this school. The teacher is actively trying to make connections to each student and is assessing them along the way to help them learn more and adjust to their learning style. It’s so amazing seeing this compared to when we were kids and how we were taught in school.

This is exact way I am going to approach my new preschool class! Play based, inquiry-based learning is the most effective and highly underrated. Awesome job!

So important! We love bringing the arts into schools, daycares and preschools which we think enriches the children's lives just a bit more too!

I love this video! I love the dough sensory bin and the playing with natural materials I thought that was very neat! It's so true that these days you HAVE to keep the children engaged or you'll be managing behavior all day - which is nearly impossible now as a teacher.

1:00 I always keep the kids engaged .... we spend a lot of time waiting 😂😂

I found this kind of approach at Cubby Tales,Bangalore,karnataka-India. It is a preschool and a day care facility, a figment of pure passion for kids. They aspire to maintain cent percent transparency and standardization. With various programs specially designed to cater to the needs of today’s children, keeping them engaged in activities wherein they learn in passe’. Holistic development of the child, enjoying childhood as it unfolds and being with the child at every step during these delicate years is what Cubby Tales is all about.

The alternative activity is such a great idea. I know for a fact that I would've been with my teacher everyday doing the activity instead of playing during recess. I hated recess, I always wanted to do something creative or arts and crafts instead of running around.

Oh, my God. This was so creative and well done! I loved this video. It gave me wonderful ideas :) thank you

Such an amazing beautiful teacher ! I hope my son has a teacher this passionate and involved!

Yes, as the teacher said, the level of learning is so much deeper when children are constructing their own learning.

Then they go out side for most of the day then come back for 10 minutes of music then a nap and then the rest of the day outside. This a very cool teacher. She has them learning all the time, and a verity of different activities.

i like the cloud thing

My understanding: Reggio - created after a war in Italy (reggio is the name of city) when an educator and some mothers gathered together to educate the kids using whatever is left available at the surrounding. - how many leaves are there; how many tins can you find? What can we do with them...; let me write on the sand (no paper and pen now) Montessori- initially meant for children with special needs. basic life skills are trained so that the kids can function and help themselves (putting in buttons, stacking insequence, counting in systematic way etc) and later become generalised in many schools that cater to normal typical needs kids. Education should be improving and related to the social context. Don't be fixated on the traditions without knowing the real purpose of why the thing is done in certain way.. Just like why the ancestors chop up the fish instead of frying the whole fish and the next generation followed the action blindly= in the past, the wok is small thus there's a need to chop it. Now, we can control the fire and has bigger wok available. We don't have to do things in certain manner.

My 3 year old is starting preschool tomorrow. I'm very sad that we could not afford Montessori school as I really like their teaching approach which is similar to this. We will have to make the best this year and save up so we can send him to Montesorri after that
