Racial Justice in ECE Classroom

ICES is proud to present our first ever training series on Exploring Racial Justice in the Early Childhood Classroom. This series is based on our original training, Racism and Implicit Bias in Child Care and provides a deeper dive into some of the subjects contained within (this training can be accessed through a link in the flyer below). We strongly recommended watching the recording of this training in order to fully engage with the material presented in the Racial Justice series.

The FREE series is geared toward early childhood ecstatic but is appropriate for everyone.
Please contact our office or visit our website to register for the series.

When Your Kid Says They "Don't Like" a Food, Say This - Your Kid's Table

Some excellent points in this article and links to more information, as well. My mom used to say "Ok, but just try it anyway, your tastebuds are changing as you grow and you never know what you might like since the last time you tried it."

It is understandable that some children will not want to wear a face covering at first so here are some tips to help. Learn more at http://ow.ly/awux50BsZ9Y
