Audio/Visual Storytelling with Sondra Segundo
“Often times when we consider school readiness for children we think of literacy as one of the main components. And while literacy certainly is a crucial building block in children’s learning, we must scrutinize how literacy is measured. Daybreak Star Preschool continues to find ways to Indigenize early care and education by emphasizing Native practices like storytelling as a necessary component to early literacy. We do this by connecting with community partners, like Sondra Segundo and our elders when possible. Storytelling is an important component to native culture and education and through these kinds of experiences we hope to model what early learning can look like.” - Nick Terrones, Daybreak Star Preschool Director
