Kindergarten Readiness is Garbage.

Kindergarten Readiness is Garbage.

Somewhere along the line, preschool became the new kindergarten. Kindergarten became the new first grade, and play has fallen to the wayside in many traditional early learning environments. As a whole, we have traded play for performance and production.

If you are reading this, chances are that this is NOT news to you.

You are already an advocate of play.

But it is not you nor I who needs the “convincing”. Sometimes, it is families who need “proof” to truly see the benefits of play.

I have created a few FREE resources for you to share with families, co-workers, admin, and any naysayer who may pop up in your play journey.

Download my NEW Resource: Why Play Matters MORE Than Kindergarten Readiness. Share with families, colleagues, and fellow play warriors.

Download the Benefits of Play Checklist to keep handy as you lean into observation and let play lead the way.

Download these SEVEN printable affirmations by clicking the button below. Print, enlarge, and share to your heart’s content.

Which is your favorite? Screenshot, or share a photo of yours proudly displayed in your space. My hope is that these will help you feel FREE to keep moving forward and provide a little clarity and space to remember WHY you are here. Keep singing your song, friend.

The road may feel long, but you are never, ever alone.

Big hugs to you.

XO,
Ade
