reliable information on early care and education for parents, caregivers,
and teachers of young children.” Although written for residents
of Illinois, the site is relevant to any parent or teacher of young
children. |

REVIEW:
These tip sheets that have been prepared in close collaboration
with the Clearinghouse on Early Education and Parenting (CEEP) at
the University of Illinois are a great resource for parents and
teachers. The sheets are grouped into ten categories: Language Arts,
Math, Science, Social Studies, Physical Development and Health,
Fine Arts, Social and Emotional Development, Parenting and Family
Life, Technology and Media, and Across the Curriculum. Topics within
the broad categories include everything from sharing books with
your baby to the appropriateness of computers for young children
to playground physics to what makes a good toy. Each of the tip
sheets includes links to additional resources on the same topic.
