Happy Artsy Thursday!

Artsy Thursday is here! Think, problem solve, create! Children develop creativity, social skills and fine motor skills with open-ended art projects where they can make choices, use their imaginations, and create with their hands. Share some photos of your artsy activities in the comments today! Your creativity inspires others and benefits children around the state! The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)

As we celebrate young children, their families, and early childhood educators during the Week of the Young Child, it's important to remember that "the childcare sector is definitely not ok."

ICYMI: a recent op-ed from Rebecca Gomez in Ms. Magazine helps highlight the child care crisis using our latest survey data and makes the case for bold action from Congress.

Week of the Young Child continues! Today is Work Together Wednesday. Collaboration, teamwork, and community are all things we value at A Child's Village. Change is made when we work together!

When children build together, they cooperate, make choices, and problem solve - all supporting their cognitive, language and social development. What are the children in your setting building and making together?

With the rise in childhood obesity, you can encourage healthy nutrition and fitness habits at home and in the classroom. What are you cooking up or tasting in the classroom today? Share your Tasty Tuesday activities in the comments. (One commenter will be selected each day of WOYC to receive a SCAEYC t-shirt!)

It's Music Monday! When children sing, dance, and listen to music, they develop their language and early literacy skills while being active and encouraging movement.
