What are you doing to celebrate young children? Next week marks the one week that we 'Celebrate' services to young children? Simple ideas: Books, baggies of books(books for the classrooms and to take home) paint kits, notebooks for doodling, stuffed animals (with sewn eyes, nose, nor mouth but no 'beads' and items that can fall of), photographs of nature, diversity, people working nontraditional roles, and similar items(these items would be posted in the classrooms at the children's eye levels). While most programs won't deny materials such as these, if you are interested and want to make sure the materials that you , contact a local provider (or more), and ask about the materials that they are able to receive. Particularly in North Carolina, all star rated programs are required to have photographs such as those mentioned above for the promotion of diversity. Storytelling, local businesses donating lunch during the week, and other similar actions are other ideas. If found this article to be a motivator, let me know what you think!!
