A child’s primary job is to play. The more they play, the healthier, smarter and happier they are. Unfortunately, as we get older, the importance of play tends to take a backseat to work and other adult responsibilities. It’s important to take a moment and remember that play is beneficial for people of all ages. It can add joy to life, relieve stress, improve brain function, boost creativity, connect people to others and make work more productive and enjoyable. The third Sunday in May, this year the 19th, is National Take Your Parents to the Playground Day. This is a great opportunity for families to get fresh air and spend quality time together. Share information with parents on the benefits of play and physical activity recommendations. Encourage them to get to a playground with their children on the 19th or one day that week. Maybe arrange a group meet up at a local playground so parents have a chance to network with one another and get to know more about program staff, and you get a chance to see how the family interacts outside of your program. For more information on the benefits of physical activity for people of all ages, visit the World Health Organization (WHO) website. Happy playing! May 08, 2024 National Provider Appreciation Day is May 10 - THANK YOU! As a child care provider you play a pivotal role in the development, education and well-being of our youngest children. You read stories, sing songs, dance silly dances, serve healthy snacks and meals, clean up messes, plan stimulating activities, kiss boo-boos, give hugs, high-fives and handshakes… and that’s all in the first hour on the job. 😊 You also work closely with co-workers and other service providers, attend training, complete paperwork, and communicate with families every day. You are a pillar of the community- a constant in a child’s life and families know they can depend on you to provide them with quality care. In honor of National Provider Appreciation Day, we want to take a moment to say we see you. We recognize the enormous contributions you make to our communities and we are grateful for all you do each and every day to provide safe and healthy environments for children and their families!
