Celebrating MUSIC MONDAY and Week of the Young Child 🥰#WOYC23

Cooking together connects math with literacy skills, science, & more. With the rise in childhood obesity, you can encourage healthy habits at home & in the classroom. Create your own healthy snacks & share the recipes & photos of your creations on social media using #WOYC23

Children can use any building material—from a fort of branches to a block city in the classroom, or a pillow hideaway at home. Share pictures of children’s creations on social media using #WOYC23

On Artsy Thursday celebrate the joy & learning children experience when engaged in creative art making. Use any materials—from crayons to paint, clay to crafts! Create & share photos of your children’s creations on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram using the #WOYC23 hashtag.

Great Beginnings and PAT will be collecting donations of new socks and underwear for foster youth. If you would like to donate, we will have a drop box in the lobby or you may send in donations with your child to Great Beginnings or to your parent educator on a visit.
