The infant and toddler teachers at our Dartmouth and New Bedford locations will use this last week of February to engage children in a variety of developmentally appropriate learning activities while reinforcing the importance of eating healthy foods, exercising and getting plenty of rest. The children are always encouraged to sneeze and cough into their sleeves, wash their hands and drink plenty of water throughout the day. Also, turtles, tire track painting and tissue paper T's abound in our Pre-K classrooms as the letter Tt takes center stage. The MA Frameworks Connections are: L7- learning letters/print/letter form and L18- using letters in a variety of ways. Have a wonderful evening :)

All activities that the infant and toddler children engage in are planned to further their individual development and are linked to the MA Infant and Toddler Guidelines to ensure best practice. Have a wonderful day!
