We're excited to welcome back a very special international USA guest to the Learn Play Thrive podcast, early childhood educator and social-emotional learning expert, Cara Zelas! Cara, the founder of the educational platform Big World of Little Dude, brings a unique perspective shaped by her intensive study of Montessori education in New York. This week, we'll dive deep into the core principles of the Montessori philosophy and explore how they can be embedded into any early learning setting.
In this insightful conversation, we'll also tackle some of the most common myths surrounding Montessori education. Cara also shares practical tips on how educators can apply key aspects of a "prepared environment" to nurture independence, foster a sense of community, and elevate their own teaching practice. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about how to create a more holistic learning space for young children.
