Are you an Early Childhood teacher?

If you are looking for teaching ideas and printable activities to help you teach Pre-K, you are in the right place. This site is a place where I share lessons and ideas I use in my Pre-K classroom: everything from math to literacy, fine motor to classroom management. I enjoy creating hands-on printable learning materials, and I share many of those here. Kindergarten teachers may also find many things they can use or adapt. Everything on this site is free for you to use in your classroom, library, or home school.

About Karen Cox

PreKinders was founded by me, Karen Cox, in 1999. I have been teaching Pre-K for 13 years in both private and public school Pre-K programs. I currently teach Pre-K in public school in Georgia. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education. I have a background in High Scope, and I have read about and studied emergent curriculum, the project approach, Montessori, and Reggio Emilia. I include some aspects of various philosophies in the way I teach. I believe in hands-on, play-based learning for Pre-K.
