Two new online resources for early childhood educators

Early Pride Matters and Engineering Explorers

From Loyola University Chicago’s School of Education, Early Pride Matters provides free resources to help early childhood educators create inclusive and affirming early learning experiences that encourage healthy gender identity exploration and development, represent LGBTQ+ children and families, and support LGBTQ+ educators, caregivers and allies.

The latest in a collection of topic-focused early education sites created by UIC’s School of Education, Engineering Explorers contains engineering activities, lesson plans, videos, and resources you need to turn everyday activities into hands-on engineering adventures. Other related sites include Early Math Counts and Early Science Matters.
