Miss Gretchen's Preschool Life: Early Childhood Education is one of the best investments we can make to our future. I wish every child could have a quality early childhood education experience. We know that 90% of brain development occurs before age 5!! Preschool is a wonderful time for children to learn now to make friends, have fun at school and learn new skills!

Importance of Art In Early CHildhood Classrooms
My first degree is in art education. I can honestly say that art is very important to my teaching philosophy. I don't mean cute cut and paste crafts. I mean getting messy and experimenting with different materials. I believe art allows students to display creativity, work through emotional issues, increase self-confidence and increase fine motor strength. Sometimes art isn't something that can be taken home and hung on the fridge, but is rather an experience. I say, experiment with different mediums such as watercolors and shaving cream, play dough and markers.
