Teaching at a preschool where freedom to choose is one of the most important aspect for children, this book has been one of the most helpful in thinking of how to strengthen the kids' thinking skills. I believe that children learn most through play, but this book enabled me to go a bit further in understanding how to make everyday activities into a-ha moments. With the new ideas in mind, I want to start changing the environment of the preschool and how I work with the kids.
