\n\tIn a recent post on the Huffington Post Blog, Kai-leé Berke discusses the important role early childhood educators play in children’s lives beyond academics. Berke shares personal anecdotes about the special relationship her child has with her teacher, and how the teacher supports her child’s ability to manage transitions. Based on these experiences, Berke recommends developing tools to support teachers’ abilities to build a sense of security and community in the classroom in order lay the foundation for learning.\n<\/p>\n
