You’ve heard it before: parents and guardians are children’s first teachers. We say it because it’s true! Many studies have shown that families and teachers working together to support children’s development can lead to better outcomes for children. This collection includes fun, easy activity ideas that families can do together to help support important school readiness skills for children ages 0-6.
