What do you teach four-year-olds?
When you tell someone you teach preschool have you ever been asked, "What in the world do you teach four year olds?" Carol Hillman in her book, Teaching Four-Year-Olds: A Personal Journey responds by saying: "Many years ago, I would have answered by describing some of the science projects or the work with art materials I did with children. Now it is different. I feel more secure in my own position. I tell them what I really do. I teach children about the world they live in, about themselves, and their peers. And I teach children about adults, trust, and love. I work with attitudes. I hope to inspire a love of learning. This is what I teach."
