The Mother's Heart




"The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom." - Henry Ward Beecher

I believe that literally, 'learning should be child's play', yet I know that many parents want to ensure that their little ones have a good start in learning. The purpose of my site is to give ideas for "gentle", age-appropriate activities that will benefit preschool children and not burn them out.

These are the newest or most recently updated pages on this site, with some blog entries inbetween too!

Join my preschool-activities-at-home egroup, where we can share our experiences of teaching and raising preschoolers. It's a place to come and chat, ask questions, offer tips and advice and enjoy the ups and downs of life with little ones.

"Mothers write on the hearts of their children what the hand of time can't erase." (Unknown)
