Website Review #2

From toddler’s educational blocks to Robots kits for kids, The Early Childhood Education Zone is a free pre-school literacy website that has all the best educational tools for preschoolers, grade school, high schools, teachers, and families. The website focuses on 5 domains, Toddler, Preschool, Elementary, Family, and Teacher. Under each of the domain, it has sub domains. These sub-domains are educational activities that includes, kindergarten reading checklist, education arts, books, music and songs, graphic novels, and robot engineering.

For instance, the toddler domain consist a sub-domain Toddler’s Educational Blocks. This subdomain has six different blocks features. It has the One Two Squeeze Baby Blocks, Fisher-Price Baby’s First Blocks, Welink 120 pieces Stem Building Blocks, Teaching Time Number Blocks, Wooden Alphabet Blocks, Jumbo Bilingual ABC Stacking Blocks. Each of these blocks has their own specific instructions for usage. These are great educational activities for toddlers, to first use them to develop their motor skills and at the same time start to build or practice their kinesthetic abilities.

One sub domain that I like about this website is the technology involvement. For preschool, creating robots or robot engineering, and other science kits are introduced at an early age. These opportunities are limitless because students are exposed to learn basics of programming, advance intellectually, grow in confidence, and it prepares kids for constant technologically advancing world.

Parents can track and monitor their kid’s performance through their kindergarten Readiness Checklist. The Earl Childhood Education Zone have compiled a list of all the skills needed kids to succeed. There are home workshops and activities that are designed for both parents and their children.
