“…fantasy play provides the nourishing habitat for the growth of cognitive, narrative, and social connectivity in young children…” - Vivian Paley
Hi! I’m Ron, the creator of Childology.
I am a preschool educator and researcher by trade who made this space to provide resources, and help to parents, caregivers, families, and teachers seeking to develop their practice with young children. I am passionate about the value of play, the importance and beauty of nature, and am a strong proponent of the belief that children are active co-constructors of their own (and communal) knowledge. I am drawn to pedagogies that emphasize relationship, reflection and that embrace each and every one of the hundred languages of childhood.
I know that it takes a village to raise a child, and I hope you’ll be a part of this one.
