| How can we learn to see clearly
the child in his world? How can we affect the world the child lives in?
To address these issues we must learn to see both the child and
ourselves. Every social transaction—whether on a playground,
in the classroom, or on a bus—is a teachable moment. Each
interaction offers another chance to learn, to change and to grow for
both the adult and the child.
—Effie
Kuriloff,
Former
Director, Rocky Mt. Cooperative Preschool
Shot over the
course of a school year, The Tricycle Solution portrays
the daily experience of a cooperative preschool where parents are as
much students as their children. The normal events and emotions of a
preschoolers day—playing, creating, discovering, crying,
fighting, and resolving disagreements—are seen in intimate
detail, as the teacher, Effie Kuriloff, elucidates her provocative
approach.
Available as a continuing
education course for CEU credit or clock hours. For more information
