Celebrate Young Learners!

Nora Rhoades, Family and Youth Development Agent

Children learn as they enjoy music, explore food and cooking, build together, create art, and celebrate their families. Repeated experiences focused on exploring all five senses (touch, sight, sound, taste and smell) help children build connections, communicate and master new skills.

The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) has some excellent hands-on resources and activity ideas for parents, care providers and teachers that will make play meaningful and learning fun. Check out http://www.naeyc.org/woyc/activity-resources.

April 10-16, 2016 is The Week of the Young Child. The Week of the Young Child is an annual celebration hosted NAEYC celebrating early learning, young children, their teachers and families.

For more information about enhancing experiences with your child, contact your local Post Rock Extension District.
