"This book is a preschool teacher’s number one resource for building community and promoting social and emotional learning. Individualizing rituals that are special to not only the child but the caregiver as well, and that reflect their personal relationship based on an understanding of the child’s needs, can truly transform the culture of a classroom." —Makai Kellogg, Preschool Teacher, School for Friends, Washington, DC

Rituals and traditions in preschool programs have the power to:

Connect children, families, and staff
Foster a sense of belonging
Create a positive learning environment

The information in this book answers the questions of why rituals and traditions are important and how teachers can incorporate them into their daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly plans to create a supportive, caring community.
