🇺🇿 Uzbekistan’s #preschool expansion helps children learn and #women work. Before 2017, less than 30% of children were enrolled in preschool; by 2025, enrolment had reached 75%. The expansion also helped more women enter paid work, with the tripling of preschools between 2018 and 2022.

#Trump’s Top #Child Care Official Wants a ‘Bonfire of Regulations’
As Americans face soaring #childcare cost, Alex Adams wants to loosen rules and tighten spending. Critics say it will harm #children and close #daycares
He said Federal childcare regulations should “fit on an index card in my back pocket." Among his targets: sweeping overhaul in a generation for #HeadStart, which provides child care and #preschool to thousands of poorest children.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: A #UMass #Amherst #study tracked 379 preschoolers and found that irregular bedtimes predicted lower #vocabulary and #memory scores, even after accounting for total sleep. 😴
#Children’s #sleep timing fluctuated by about 60 minutes on average. Surprisingly, attention was unaffected, suggesting irregular sleep hits specific #brain functions rather than everything at once. 🧠

Researchers Wanted #Preschool #Teachers to Wear #Cameras to #Train #AI
U of Wash planned to have preschool teachers wear cameras that would record everything they saw from a first-person perspective, including the children they were teaching, then use that footage to develop AI models. Crucially, the program was presented as opt-out, rather than opt-in, meaning that parents had to take steps to prevent recordings of their children being processed by AI

Math Game Monday: Dinosaur Race
This game helps preschool children develop counting and number sense.
Many parents remember struggling to learn math. We hope to provide a better experience for our children. And one of the best ways for children to enjoy learning is through hands-on play.
So what are you waiting for? Let’s play some math!
Dinosaur Race
Math Concepts: number symbols, counting beyond ten, number line.
Players: any number.
Equipment: subitizing cards, number line racetrack, small plastic dinosaur or other toy for each player.
Set-Up
Draw a straight path on paper or a manila file folder, either horizontal or slanted uphill (so the larger numbers will be higher). Divide the racetrack into twelve to twenty spaces large enough for small toys to rest in. Or glue squares of colored construction paper in a long line on poster board. Number the spaces in order, beginning with one.
Create subitizing cards by drawing 1, 2, or 3 dots on several index cards or cut-up squares of cardboard. Better yet, let your kids make them with dot markers (but make sure the dots don’t show through the back).
Turn the subitizing cards face down and spread them out to form a fishing pond. Do not use dice or regular playing cards. The number of squares moved each turn must be low enough to recognize at a glance, or else counting will distract the player from saying the track numbers in order.
A manila folder makes a sturdy game board, decorated with pictures from a coloring book.How to Play
Each player should choose a small dinosaur or other toy and place it near the beginning of the racetrack. On your turn, draw a card and move your dinosaur that many spaces, saying each number as you land on it. Cards should be mixed back into the pond after each turn.
This is the most important rule: when moving their toys, players must say the number in each space. Repeating the numbers in order focuses the child’s attention and helps build number sense, a gut feeling for how numbers work, which is important to future learning.
The first player to reach the end of the path wins the race.
Variations
After children have played the game normally many times, try starting at the end of the path and counting down the number line.
Or use the game board for counting practice. Count pennies or dried beans onto the racetrack spaces, or write numbers on small plastic lids so children can match them to the board.
Whole-Body Counting: Draw a Dinosaur Race path outdoors with sidewalk chalk, or use colored painter’s tape along a hallway floor. Children can walk or jump along the line, saying the numbers as they go.
History
Counting up and down a number line forms a strong foundation for children’s understanding of arithmetic. Dinosaur Race is based on the research of Robert S. Siegler and Geetha B. Ramani, who studied how preschool children responded to a variety of games. Playing a number line game like Dinosaur Race for as little as an hour (in fifteen-minute segments spread out over a couple of weeks) made a dramatic difference in the children’s ability to learn and retain arithmetic facts, while similar games played on a round track or on a linear track without numbers produced no measurable change.
* * *This game is an excerpt from Counting & Number Bonds: Math Games for Early Learners, available at my bookstore (Thank you for cutting out the middleman!) and through many online retailers. Read more about my playful math books here.
Special Offer: Would you like to access a growing archive of Math Monday games and other activity ideas as convenient printable pdf downloads, ready to print and play with your kids?

An evaluation of 588 children who either won a lottery for admission to a Montessori preschool at age 3, or did not, found that at the end of kindergarten (students aged 5 or 6), those who attended a Montessori preschool had higher reading, short-term memory, and executive function scores.
