National Month of the Young Child

April is the National Month of the Young Child! This year our month long celebration is focused around healthy living! Each week will have a different emphasis. Topics include the importance of healthy eating, physical activity and hand washing. Classes will have opportunities to plant seeds for our school garden, taste test different foods and participate in active games and outdoor play! 

A few healthy ideas to try at home include:

• Taking a family walk. Enjoy the spring weather and walk, run, or skip around the community.
• Limiting screen time. Kick a ball in the back yard, or have a dance party instead!
• Getting children involved in cooking healthy recipes. Let your child help you pack their lunch or prepare dinner. 

We are excited to celebrate the National Month of the Young Child and learn about healthy living. We hope you are excited to celebrate with us!
