STORYKATE helps educators create a top-notch curriculum. As an early childhood teacher and teacher's educator, I share my passion for early learning through stories; puppet shows, action songs, circle games, children's songs, and thoughts about helping young children to learn. Through videos, tutorials and quizzes, I will demonstrate the ways to create an engaging program for children, with a particular emphasis on circle time (group time, meeting time or yarning circle). If you are a beginning educator, an early childhood education student or a seasoned professional, I promise you will find something to learn here. I envision STORYKATE as a space to share ideas, examples of good practice; reflections and fun!
