Common Ground Celebrates: Week of the Young Child

NAEYC Week of the Young Child.png

We are excited to celebrate the 50th annual ‘Week of the Young Child’ with NAEYC just one week after Common Ground turns 49!

The Week of the Young Child is a chance for us to spotlight how we impact early childhood experiences. From the work we do in our classrooms to our advocacy work, we are excited to share Common Ground far and wide!

Each day the week of April 10th we will be celebrating a center wide theme! The classroom teachers will put their own spin on how they celebrate in their rooms to keep our fun age and developmentally appropriate!

  • ‘All Smiles’ Saturday - we will be open for care from 9:30am to 2:30pm, since we know that Saturday hours put a smile on our parents faces!

  • Music Monday will feature an outdoor concert from Mr. Josh

  • Tasty Tuesday will include in class treats, and a chance to pick up dinner when you pick your kiddo up!

  • Work Together Wednesday will focus on working as a team to plant our gardens on the Common Ground grounds!

  • Artsy Thursday will feature amazing art work from all classes.

  • Family Friday will highlight how families, not just the kids that attend, are what make the Common Ground Community special!

During this week, we ask that you participate by sharing your support on your social media channels by sharing what Common Ground (and quality early childhood education) means to your family. You can:

  • share our posts

  • share photos of your child enjoying our activities

  • share your participation in some of our fun “at home” activities that we will share with you that support our themes

  • purchase some of the recommended books from our book fair, since reading together is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child

If you’d like to register for our “All Smiles Saturday” care hours, please do so here. Like last time, there is a suggested donation of $25 per child, however we know that the value of a few hours off work with care could be worth 100x that, so please don’t limit yourself! Donations can be made here: paypal.com/us/fundraiser/charity/1778362
