Online Radio for Early Childhood...
Have you noticed that several early childhood sites have jumped into radio and podcasting recently? You can now download or stream programs that focus on everything from raising a self-motivated child to how childcare providers are navigating through turbulent times.
There are a variety of channels... I particularly enjoy the Child Care Provider channel, but don't forget to tune in to NAEYC Radio (for the National Association for the Education of Young Children), NACCP Radio (for the National Association of Child Care Professionals) and Head Start Radio for some great segments featuring nationally renowned early care and education experts.
The podcasts are provided by BAM Radio, The Education Station. We talked about BAM Radio (Body And Mind) a while ago and it has grown substantially since then. BAM Radio was developed and is hosted by Rae Pica, an author and educator who has written many books about the link between children's physical, social and cognitive development. Go to the site to find listings of all the radio shows recorded so far.
Give it a try... If you are tired of reading dry reports or don't seem to have time to read the latest books, listening to podcasts can be a great break. For child care providers, you can find new and helpful information while cleaning or doing your daily chores. It may be just the ticket for you auditory learners out there...
