Episode 104: Unlocking the Future: Transformative Early Childhood Education in Canyons School District


Listen Later

Children experience a language explosion at the ages of 3,4, and 5, and play   — intentional play — can help them channel that. In Canyons District, time is set aside in preschool and kindergarten for play, or for students to "plan, do, and review" a fun activity of their choice.
