The Manual is a roadmap for teachers on how to create a classroom culture of caring, creativity, learning and emotional health. Increasingly progressive educators are focusing on play-based learning and social-emotional development, but The Happiest Preschool: A Manual for Teachers is unique in providing a comprehensive and thorough discussion of this focus and illustrating all precepts with teachable examples. In addition there are sections on understanding and helping children with the feelings underlying fantasy play; on the importance of partnering with parents; and on informed ways of helping children who are under emotional stress.

Moreover the manual is an invaluable asset for parents trying to choose a preschool or kindergarten for their child.

“The Happiest Preschool: A Manual for Teachers is a strong advocate for high quality preschool, which is what every child needs and deserves as a springboard for academic success and the development of social-emotional skills and self-confidence. Teachers will learn and benefit from comprehensive topics and specific examples that illustrate how to create an exciting, cooperative, caring, inspiring classroom culture." —Arnie Duncan, former U.S. Secretary of Education and CEO of Chicago Public Schools.

“The Happiest Preschool is so consistently positive that I was smiling as I read every page ... The Manual paints the picture of a child-responsive early childhood program worth emulating." —Dan Gartrell, author of The Power of Guidance: Teaching Social-Emotional Skills in Early Childhood Classrooms.
