EARLY CHILDHOOD INFLUENCERS!

If early childhood education was the movies, these would be the actors playing the lead roles like Kate in Amar!

jean rousseau

Busting the myth that children were needy and stupid was this superstar from the 18th Century!

​

Jean Rousseau was a French guy who believed:

​

  • each child is unique

​

  • children should be allowed to develop (grow) in their own time

​

  • children should participate in their own learning

​

  • the teacher should follow the child

​

  • focus should be on sensory experiences

​

  • focus not on the topic but on the child and how they learn

 

 

 

 

 

 

TASK: Rousseau was pretty cool. Can you see any things that he thought about children and learning that happens at HEY now, 300 YEARS LATER?
