Why Literacy and Phonics Development Are Critical Before the Winter Break
As winter break approaches, it’s the perfect time to celebrate how much our young learners have grown in their literacy journey. Using effective phonics instruction strategies for preschool helps ensure children retain what they’ve learned and return ready for new challenges.
How Conscious Discipline® Supports SEL and Academic Growth in Early Childhood Education
In early childhood education, it’s vital to focus on more than just academic development. Social-emotional learning (SEL) plays a critical role in a child’s ability to succeed, both in school and in life. Conscious Discipline® is a research-backed framework that integrates brain-compatible strategies to help children develop self-regulation, build relationships, and resolve conflicts. By incorporating calming techniques, structured routines, and social-emotional management tools, Conscious Discipline® helps create emotionally supportive environments where children can thrive.
At Frog Street, we recognize that early childhood education requires more than just delivering content; it’s about cultivating the whole child—emotionally, socially, and academically.
Best Practices for Aligning Curriculum with Social-Emotional Learning Through Conscious Discipline®
In today's ever-evolving early childhood education landscape, merging academic goals with social-emotional learning (SEL) is critical. Educators are increasingly focused on creating balanced classrooms that nurture cognitive and social-emotional development. Frog Street’s curriculum integrates strategies from Conscious Discipline® to help children build essential life skills such as self-regulation, empathy, and conflict resolution. This integration enhances social-emotional growth and promotes academic success, ensuring children thrive in environments that support their overall development.
