What Are The Best Websites For Preschool Teachers?

Anyone who has ever worked in the field of early childhood knows that a preschool teacher is very busy, with limited time to find the best resources for the students and classroom. While working full-time in the classroom, I found the best way to manage my time was to have all of my resources at my fingertips. The internet can be a teachers best and easiest way to find high quality information, lesson plans, printables, coloring pages, craft/project ideas, teacher tips, the latest research in the field and even forums if you have the time to participate. I have compiled what I believe to be some of the best websites for teachers and I found that the less you have, the better. I have them listed in no preferential order as I find each of them extremely helpful and of high quality. Feel free to bookmark this or make a copy for your files; send to a friend if you find it helpful.
