The power of child-led play

Bringing safe, nurturing, and predictable to life

In most early childhood classrooms, you’ll find two or three teachers at all times. The way teaching teams come together is often random, so when a teaching team happens to make a perfect match, it’s like striking gold. At P.S. 17, Ms. Bermeo and Ms. Alvarado are one such match. The warm relationship between the teachers is reflected in their classroom — one that is safe, nurturing and predictable for all students and families in this diverse New York City neighborhood. Tiny Big Moments is a production of ParentCorps, an evidence-based early childhood program housed at NYU Langone. This episode was produced by Clarissa Donnelly-DeRoven and Cindy Gray, and edited by Shanika Gunaratna.  You can learn more about ParentCorps programming at www.weareparentcorps.org [www.weareparentcorps.org] and you can donate to support our work at www.weareparentcorps.org/support-us [www.weareparentcorps.org/support-us].
