This document discusses teaching strategies for early education. It recommends (1) setting up daily time for creativity and exploration with art materials, (2) organizing small groups and cooperative learning activities for preschoolers, and (3) reading to students everyday and encouraging families to read to get students hooked on literacy from an early age. Consistency is also important for setting clear classroom rules and allowing student choice to build problem-solving and social skills.
