Balance is the natural state of the universe; for every force there is an equal and opposite reaction.

As educators let’s use what works for each learner and be open to all possibilities - after all isn’t that what education and science is all about?

Best Start or False Start?
It is ironic how the most important years in our children’s lives are often given the least importance. In this day and age parents are usually financially pressured to go back to work and leave their babies with others for long days. Those others are becoming more and more corporatized. ECE Reform may have some interesting solutions that could be applied across the board.
