This is an excellent book with some very innovative and creative ideas for early childhood education. I would definitely recommend it for new and experienced teachers. You are sure to find some new ideas. It reenergized me to begin the current year.

I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT THIS BOOK. I AM A
PRE-K TEACHER, AND IF YOU WORK WITH YOUNG CHILDREN YOU WILL WANT THIS BOOK. THE IDEAS ARE AMAZING!!! THE BOOK BASICALLY GIVES YOU TONS OF IDEAS FOR THE PHYSICAL CLASSROOM ITSELF, THE CENTERS TO USE IN THE CLASSROOM, HOW TO SEND THE CHILDREN TO THE CENTERS, AND GREAT DESCRIPTIONS OF WHAT TO PLACE IN THE CENTERS. BEST OF ALL IS YOU CAN MAKE THE ITEMS YOURSELF. IT'S TERRIFFIC! ONCE YOU READ THE IDEAS IT'S LIKE --O WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT. BUY THIS BOOK IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THE BEST AND MOST DIVERSE CENTERS AROUND!!!!

My purpose for buying this book was to give ideas to a new teacher for setting up her room, but even after teaching for 30 years I found many new/creative ideas for my room as well. Thanks, Dr. Jean!!

I was disappointed in this book as it was just a list of items needed in a classroom. I think it might be useful for a brand new teacher, but as a veteran teacher I found it boring and useless for me. I ended up selling it to someone else.

This is a great book, especially for a beginning preschool teacher. It really sets the stage for how you want your classroom to look and makes learning fun!
