Enjoy this extraordinary moment at the FLAEYC PLAY Space with Meralis Acevedo, Director, Owner and VPK Teacher, at Little Lords and Ladies Academy. After playing silently by herself with open-ended materials, Meralis shares her experience with spontaneity, expressed joy, and remarkable wisdom.
In 1922 at Princeton University, Albert Einstein said, “The supreme act of the teacher is to awaken joy in creative expression.” In this case, the interaction with materials is the “teacher”. This brief video touches my heart. In the play and comments of Meralis, we realize the value of play and reflection. What do you see, hear, and feel as you view this vignette?
