We are incredibly proud of our new Toddler Learning Curriculum. Discover more about this FREE, innovative, play-based resource here: https://lnkd.in/eZjdwH_r
Here's some amazing #MondayMotivation: Caring for toddlers is physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding. Keeping up with these young ones on the go is exceptionally challenging.

Including their complete toddler curriculum, which is now available to all child care providers at no cost. The curriculum was built with a number of critical contributors from across the field, including: Barbara Rosenquest, Debbie LeeKeenan, Edna Cabral, Kim Lee Ripley, Lisa Kuh, Marina Boni, Melissa Rivard, Saameh Solaimani, Stacy Normand-Linan, LICSW, Vicki Milstein All providers (families, centers, programs, and individuals) can now access this fully developed, read-to-use curriculum by filling out a simple Google form: https://lnkd.in/dabubD9D This play-based curriculum includes book lists, games, themes, and activities. Please share (and use!) widely. #useyourvoice #investinchildcare #investinchildcareproviders
