The September issue of The Family Child Care Chronicle highlights how family engagement can strengthen relationships between providers and families, support children’s learning, and make it easier to connect families with screenings, referrals, and community resources.
It also shares that KY COLT is coming soon, while providers can continue using KY TRIS and request custom training from the WKU Family Child Care Network.
Suggested learning activities show providers how to build lesson plans around children’s books, using stories such as Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? to inspire art, movement, science, and music activities.
The newsletter also promotes the upcoming Family Child Care Conference in Covington, the new Little Lunch Learners training series, and a September 28 training in Owensboro focused on helping picky eaters meet their nutritional needs.
Providers are also reminded to make regular handwashing part of daily routines to help reduce the spread of illness.
