June 19, 2022The National Association for the Education of Young Children began Week of the Young Child back in 1971 and now the association has over 60,000 members and Catholic Charities Diocese of Metuchen’s child care programs are included in that number.
Week of the Young Child Activities at the childcare centers were incorporated throughout the week and focused around the daily themes: Music Monday, Tasty Tuesday, Work Together Wednesday, Artsy Thursday, and Family Friday.
The New Brunswick and Phillipsburg Early Learning Centers also expanded on the daily themes with additional activities including: local police reading to the children, a visit from the Robert Wood Johnson ambulance, planting herbs and flowers, creating handprint posters, and a teddy bear picnic.
“Child care continues to provide support and continuity to the children and families we serve especially the most vulnerable. Now more than ever, the programs we offer are crucial to families getting back on their feet and ensuring their children grow developmentally and socially in their preschool years. We also thank the staff for their continued hard work throughout this pandemic. Their commitment and dedication is unwavering! ”, said Krista Glynn, Child Care Service Area Director.
