The Hechinger Report
Which kind of preschool is more beneficial for young children: academic or play-based? Recent research has breathed new life into a debate that has been around for decades. For many parents and policymakers worried that children are being pushed into structured learning too early, there's immediate concern when the word academics is associated with preschool. Children need to have fun, be creative and make their own choices, they say. To them, the term academics connotes flashcards and a rigid, constrained environment. It's the opposite of letting kids be kids and enjoying a childhood that will soon enough confront homework, lectures, testing, and sitting in desks all day.

In the age of standardized testing, screen time and what some see as a generation of excessively coddled children, a new movement of preschools is pushing kids outdoors, come rain or shine, heat or cold, to connect with nature and learn to take measured risks, in addition to math and the ABCs. Jeffrey Brown reports from Midland, Michigan.

When they arrived, many of the soon-to-be kindergarteners in Miami Elementary School's summer preschool program in Lafayette, Indiana could not spell their names or grip a pencil. They hadn't learned to line up silently or raise their hands. At lunch, a few tried slurping their applesauce through straws. Many working-class families in this manufacturing city across the Wabash River from Purdue University cannot afford to send their children to private pre-kindergarten, nor can they rely on government-funded programs — like Head Start and subsidized childcare — which serve a fraction of eligible children.

Earlychildhood News
Molly is an energetic and curious four-year-old. Like other children her age, she likes to explore her outdoor environment in creative ways. Thus, the two playground supervisors on duty should not have been surprised when Molly decided to try out the new eight-foot horizontal ladder placed in the child care center for the older kids. They both looked up in time to see Molly falling through the bars onto the hard surface below. The result — a broken arm, a badly bruised body, and emotional scars Molly will carry with her for the rest of her life.

Kerry Elson, a contributor for Edutopia, writes: "I used to think that snack time was an interruption in the schedule in my early childhood classroom. I offered crackers and water and then asked kids to finish up so we could move on to whatever activity was next. Last year, however, I found ways in which snack time — previously just a pit stop in our day — could help teach social and emotional skills and build a classroom community in which each child felt valued. My students and I savored our snack time. Here's how I did it."

NPR (commentary)
Tania Lombrozo, a contributor for NPR, writes: "A few years ago, my daughter requested that her nightly lullaby be replaced with a bedtime story. I was happy to comply, and promptly invented stories full of imaginary creatures in elaborate plots intended to convey some important lesson about patience or hard work or being kind to others."
