Recenzii


“As an early childhood educator, I am always looking for new ideas for teaching preschoolers healthy habits that will serve them throughout life. This curriculum offers exactly what a busy teacher needs to provide a comprehensive health curriculum.”
—Marna Holland, EdD, CFCS, licensed teacher in birth-kindergarten, physical education, health education, and family and consumer sciences


“The books in the Growing, Growing Strong series provide a comprehensive resource for providers and teachers when supporting children in learning more about themselves, each other, and their communities. Children are given freedom to explore the topics, ask questions, and interact with items that help them problem solve and build their understanding. All of the material is presented in a way that is very respectful to individual preferences, experiences, fears, interests, and cultures.”
—Patricia Dischler, author of From Babysitter to Business Owner and Teaching the 3 Cs: Creativity, Curiosity & Courtesy, president of the National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC), and nationally recognized speaker

—Holly Elissa Bruno, MA, JD, author, keynote speaker, adjunct instructor at Wheelock College, and BAM Radio Network host


“This series gives teachers the tools to help children begin to make informed choices based on the hows and whys of a healthy lifestyle and leaves the door wide open for partnerships with families and community members.”

—Sherri R. Meyer, Masters of Art in Education, Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education (IECE), and adjunct faculty at Western Kentucky University

Congratulations to Connie Jo Smith, Charlotte M. Hendricks, and Becky S. Bennett for designing and creating a healthy menu of ideas and resources that teachers, families, and others case use promptly.”
—Luis Hernandez, MA, T/TAS at WKU, early childhood education specialist, acclaimed keynote speaker, interactive learning facilitator, and author


“The authors have carefully woven issues of culture, language, and special needs throughout the curriculum and have found a way to address difficult topics (such as death, weapons, and drugs) in an appropriate, matter-of-fact manner that communicates confidence and not fear. This resource should be a part of every early childhood environment!”
—Alisa S. Ghazvini, PhD, early childhood consultant and former early childhood teacher and director
