Here is one of the simplest ways the children take ownership of their environment. When the bell rings for our morning gathering, they put the mats on the rug. A familiar routine, with their input.

If you’re a home childcare educator working alone, I created a recorded workshop for you. In Creating an Intentional Home Childcare Environment That Supports Children and Educators, I share how I moved from childcare taking over my entire home to creating an intentional space that supports the children and me.

🎙️ LISTEN to the children.
Children’s input matters. When we leave room for them to notice a problem and think through what might help, they become part of the decision-making.

Sometimes our role is to pause, listen, and give their ideas time to emerge.

Learning beyond walls.
A community walk gives us so much to notice, read about, and learn about—and space to hear children’s thoughts and questions.
👋🏻
Even a wave to the sanitation worker can spark curiosity about the people who care for our neighborhood and the work they do.
🦺
If you’re a home educator wondering how to engage children in outdoor learning, spend some time walking and learning within your community. Notice what catches the children attention. Listen to their conversations. Let their questions and curiosities lead learning together.
