“Mike is a monkey! Mike is a monkey! Mike is a monkey!”
It was supposed to be play.
One question. One silly answer. One chant from a child and suddenly Mike found himself sitting with a much bigger question:
What do we do when children’s play carr... more
Willow bends. Willow moves. Willow stays rooted.
So what can Willow teach us about working with young children?
In this episode, we get into flexibility, adaptation, compliance, and the things we've been taught to bend around. We ask what we've tra... more
What if a bay leaf could teach us how to teach?

Mike and Nick, thank you so much for the work you do with young children. I loved your thoughts about our authentic selves in the work setting—after all, not many grownups appreciate our individual vibes the way kids do! For anyone reading this review; having diverse voices in our field is VITAL and needs to be supported. So, subscribe, download, listen, review, and spread the work about Napcast.
Thank you Nick and Mike for your thoughtfulness and reflection in early childhood education. I love the dynamic you both have together and the way you bring forward who YOU are. This podcast is such a great resource for educators, thank you for your work!!
