Rachel Giannini is back with more tricks of the trade for little learners. Don’t let the glitter and glue fool you — early educators are some of the hardest working individuals in the field. As No Small Matter navigates post-production, we encourage you join this eye-opening discovery of early education through our video blog.

Rachel’s motto: “It’s okay to think outside of the box and experiment.” As a teacher or caregiver, it is important to explore your imagination in order to promote active participation among children. From integrating a classroom pet into a math curriculum to the art of tinkering, don’t be afraid to stretch those creative muscles.

Rachel believes she has grown even more as an educator as a result of her participation with No Small Matter. By working with a crew and reaching out to her network of educators, she has reflected on her experiences and been challenged with new ideas. “It wouldn’t be as impactful or deep if there weren’t people questioning me,” she explains.
