Introduction

The purpose of this blog is to give the parents ideas and exercises to do with their children at home to support their learning process.

Some of the suggestions were taken from the High Reach Program and others from the Student Support Service (JFK-Preschool), the videos from youtube and the pictures from google.


The activities are classified in areas: Math, Language, Social-emotional and Motor Skills.
I hope you will find these suggestions fun and useful.

Please feel free to add comments in English or Spanish.

Personal Development

Independence is one of the most important tasks for parents and teachers. It is also one of the most difficult to practice. We usually tend to do things for children because it is easier and faster, but with that action we are blocking their ability to choose and solve problems. As educators, we have to promote independence by encouraging children to solve problems by themselves (but provide guidance) and to help them do things for themselves to encourage independence and self-confidence.
