Teaching Young Children is NAEYC's magazine for anyone who works with preschoolers. Colorful, informative, and easy-to-read, TYC is packed full of teaching ideas, strategies, and tips.
As you read this issue, I hope you find exciting ideas to create meaningful experiences for children to move their bodies, eat nutritious foods, and play and learn in healthy environments.
This issue of Teaching Young Children features articles about promoting health, nutrition, and movement in ways that tuned into NAEYC’s Early Learning Program Accreditation.
The benefits of outdoor play aren’t just physical. It allows children to challenge themselves and become appraisers of risk. This, in turn, helps develop cognitive, social and emotional, and self-regulatory skills.
In this article, we share strategies for incorporating fine and large motor skills into daily learning experiences and highlight a lesson from one preschool class.
