The Preschool Podcast, brought to you by HiMama, is a platform for learning from leading professionals in early childhood education. If you work in a daycare, childcare or preschool setting, The Preschool Podcast will provide you with both practical advice for managing your organization, center or classroom, as well as thought provoking content and insights about the field of early childhood education. Each week, we chat with leaders in early childhood education, from teachers and educators in the classroom with innovative curriculum approaches, to directors who are excelling at empowering their team, and leaders outside of the child care environment that are passionate about making a positive impact on outcomes for young children. Our goal with The Preschool Podcast is to provide knowledge and inspiration to the future leaders of early childhood education by speaking with experienced and insightful leaders in the world of preschool and early learning today. At HiMama, it is our belief that leadership within early childhood education is crucial to the future of the childcare sector and, of course, the future of our most important asset in this world, our youngest children.

<p>In the first full episode of The Preschool Podcast with Jo and Maddie, our hosts discuss one of their favorite topics in early childhood education: Process vs Product.</p> <p>What does it mean to focus on the process rather than the product when it comes to making art with young children?</p> <p>Jo and Maddie start with a definition taken from our <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/himamacircletime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Circle Time Facebook Group</a>:</p> <p><strong>Product-focused art has a right way and a wrong way to work on the project and typically requires a specific skill and technique to reach that end goal.</strong></p> <p><strong>Process-focused art is when a child is given an open-ended project and they have the opportunity to express themselves through their work.</strong></p> <p>From there, our hosts dive into their own experiences with artwork in the classroom and share their personal educational philosophies. (Spoiler: Jo and Maddie are both Team Process.) Plus, ideas for process-based projects for holidays, communicating the benefits of process art with parents, and striking a balance between giving children the freedom to explore their creativity and preparing them for kindergarten and beyond.</p> <p>Join the conversation and share your thoughts in <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/himamacircletime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Circle Time</a>!</p>
