About this listen
The Manual is a roadmap for teachers on how to create a classroom culture of caring, creativity, learning and emotional health. Increasingly progressive educators are focusing on play-based learning and social-emotional development, but The Happiest Preschool: A Manual for Teachers is unique in providing a comprehensive and thorough discussion of this focus and illustrating all precepts with teachable examples. In addition there are sections on understanding and helping children with the feelings underlying fantasy play; on the importance of partnering with parents; and on informed ways of helping children who are under emotional stress.
Moreover the manual is an invaluable asset for parents trying to choose a preschool or kindergarten for their child.
