Day Care Providers & Business Owners - Great Website - Go to Yale

Language in the Brain, Mouth and the Hands | Yale Psychology Lecture

Legalzoom.com had a wonderful article on young folks who became entrepreneurs, some very young, before high school graduation and some right out of college. Richard Ludlow put together a website called Academic Earth which has free lectures from such institutions as Yale and Harvard.

I listened to Language in the Brain, Mouth and the Hands by Paul Bloom | Yale Psychology Lecture

A captivating speaker, Paul Bloom is fascinating with his striking storytelling and insightful humor. Daycare providers utilizing what Bloom teaches here, can better assist their daycare kids in learning to read.

Legalzoom.com wrote this about Richard Ludlow:

"Richard Ludlow, a social entrepreneur, founded the Yale Economic Review while he was still in college and then after graduation, deferred admission to Harvard Business School to focus on his next venture, a website called Academic Earth. The mission of Academic Earth is "giving everyone on earth access to a world class education." The website was launched in January 2009, and by May 2009 had built a library of over 1,500 video lectures by professors from prestigious universities like Harvard and Yale. All videos are available free for anyone to watch. Subject matter includes Astronomy, History, Law, Religion, and more."

Why the recommendation to daycare business owners? Educate yourselves and don't wait for the Department of Early Learning to be your leader in making your business successful.

Learning through this modality that gives you free access to such people as Paul Bloom, a Yale professor, provides a stellar education. Keep track of what you read and listen to and create your own training documents crafting what you learn into your business plan.

To the Department of Early Learning; create a process by which day care providers stepping up to the plate in this manner (sitting through this lecture by a Yale professor and making specific application to how they utilized this lecture in their daycare) can receive STARS credit.

And how sweet that a young person (Richard Ludlow) using the technology of the internet created a website that offers free high class education. Daycare provider could incorporate these lectures into their curriculum for school aged children.

Dr. Seuss would approve.
