NAEYC's Week Of The Young Child kicks off this week! 🎉 Here are some fun daily activities to celebrate the importance of children and their families. Music Monday (4/13): Turn up the volume. Sing loud, move freely, and make some music together! Tasty Tuesday (4/14): Aprons on, expectations low, joy high. Little chefs + big messes = the kind of learning that tastes like something yummy. Work Together Wednesday (4/15): Because the best things get built together. Collaboration, community, and a little creative chaos could be fun! Artsy Thursday (4/16): Glitter happens, embrace it! Creativity has no wrong answers. Family Friday (4/17): Watch a movie. Play a game. Enjoy dinner together. Whatever it is, do it as a family! #allin #jeffersonjets #yourcommunityschools #WOTYC
