Educating Children on the Importance of Memorial Day
By Dawn Try, Director of Tiny Tots Child Care and Learning Center

Why It Matters:
Memorial Day is more than just a day off from school—it’s an opportunity to teach children about history, bravery, and the importance of remembering those who served our country. Instilling values of gratitude and respect helps children grow into compassionate and thoughtful citizens.
What Children Can Learn:
- The meaning and history behind Memorial Day.
- Respect for soldiers and their families.
- The value of service and sacrifice.
- How to honor those who served, such as visiting cemeteries, attending parades, or observing a moment of silence.
- The difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
How Families Can Participate:
- Attend a community event or Memorial Day parade together.
- Create patriotic crafts or write thank-you letters to veterans.
- Visit a local veterans’ cemetery or memorial.
- Watch an age-appropriate documentary or read books about American heroes.
- Bake a treat to share with a veteran or military family in your neighborhood.
Let’s raise a generation that remembers, respects, and honors.

Everyone knows I am not someone who engages in gossip, but that being said apparently my neighbor in the Mount Union, Kistler area, Tiffany Grainey had made a statement on Facebook about two of the children who had removed their coats at playtime. So this is for Tiffany thank you for expressing your concern regarding the children being outside without coats at 44° weather.
Per PA Childcare regulations 55 PA code 3270. 114 children must be dressed appropriately for the weather, but they are not required to wear coats at all times. It is common for children to remove their coats once active outdoors and they are always encouraged to put them back on if they become cold we closely monitor their comfort and safety during outdoor activities.
As a provider with over 30 years of experience, I found the children naturally adjust to their comfort level during play at Tiny Tots We provide lessons on freezing temperatures that make memorable and educational experience that spark curiosity and learning.
in addition to running licensed childcare programs, I’ve spent over 30 years in the therapeutic foster care, taking care of children from various situations such as neglect I work in partnership with Children & Youth and attend many court cases for real neglect we have experience neglect and an adequate supervision, therefore the children often end up living with us we are always ensuring the health and safety and overall well being of every child we come in contact with it is not only my responsibility. It is a lifelong commitment. I appreciate your concern and that you look out for children in your community but I ensure you they are safe and healthy and thank you to the many people that notified me on this, including my favorite Children & Youth worker

At the end of September, emergency funding that saved the child care industry from collapse during the pandemic will expire, threatening the stability of an already fragile system. Without immediate action from Congress, millions of children risk losing access to child care, families will face increased costs, and early educators will continue to be underpaid and undervalued.

Tell your elected officials to prioritize and invest in child care as they debate emergency funding and annual spending bills. Funding to address our country's child care crisis is more urgent now than ever before.
