About Exchange

2

Exchange magazine is a bimonthly publication focused on the administration of programs for young children. Our goal is to support center administrators with workable strategies, practical advice, and down-to-earth ideas for dealing with the serious responsibilities and demands they face each day.

With 35 years publishing experience in the Early Childhood Education field, Exchange is the clear choice to reach key decision-makers. Exchange is a paid subscription-based magazine. Eighty percent of those who subscribe to Exchange manage centers with 50 children or more. A recent study indicated that most subscribers share each issue with an average of eleven staff members, which translates into a pass-along readership of well over 330,000 professionals.

Our advertisers know Exchange as a professional organization that believes strongly in customer service, customer satisfaction, and marketing support. As an advertiser, you become a partner in our tradition of excellence and commitment. We are confident that based on numbers alone, you will conclude that Exchange is the right medium for your message. When you consider the reputation and character of the magazine, we are certain that Exchange will be your first choice.

We personally invite you to join the ever-expanding Exchange family and experience the Exchange that has played an integral part in the history of early childhood education and that will continue to help shape its future.

Super Family Play Sets at Becker’s® School SuppliesLet’s give a hero’s welcome to Super Family Play Sets! Finally, children can play out their favorite hero fantasies in a constructive way. Becker’s offers four different family sets, each with five wooden figures — sized just right for block play. The characters are 2-sided; on one

side they are dressed like everyday people; on the back side,

they’re transformed into super characters — ready for brave

deeds and daring rescues! These heroes don’t come with

prescribed stories or traits — it’s up to the players’

imaginations to bring the characters to life. So make room —

when Super Families join the ranks among the other props in the block area, they’ll require lots of space. After all, they do a lot of leaping from tall buildings! See Play Sets at www.SHOPBECKER.com, use keyword: Super Family or call (800) 523-1490.

Schoolscapes Storytelling CircleSchoolscapes’ concept isto get children out into theopen air for as much of theschool day as possible:• To provide them with

stimulating, safe surroundings.• To develop an understanding of and connection with the envi-

ronment.• To be physically fit through movement and exercise and to learn

about materials and their properties through hands-on experi-

mentation and experience. The Storytelling Circle shown is a great example of the products

you can find on Schoolscapes’ website. Create an enchanting Story-

telling Circle with this over-sized StoryTelling Chair. The high back

with its Moon and Star cut-out shapes will make the Storyteller,

young or old, feel like they’re sitting in a mystical throne. Team the

StoryTelling Chair with an arc of Opus Benches and you create a
