Breast Cancer Awareness and PINK DAY!

Yes, we asked everyone to wear PINK for our annual pink day at Rainbow Station Hanover.

October is SIDS Awareness Month

October is SIDS Awareness Month Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the unexplained sudden death of an infant under one year of age. As the leading cause of death in children between one month and one year of age, SIDS is something every child care worker, parent, and caregiver should know about. Child care workers should be especially vigilant, as a disproportionate amount of SIDS deaths occur in child care settings: 20% of SIDS deaths occur in these settings, but based on the time that children spend in child care, that number should only be around 9%.

Adding Narratives to Art Projects

When the children do an art project and you display it add a narrative. This will allow parents to see what the "process" was during the particular art project and display it with the art. This will help parents understand process versus product.

Early childhood ed is vital to the economy's future

"As we face intensifying global competition, we know that we need a strong, capable workforce to lead our businesses and create a vital economy. The most strategic investment in human capital is in early childhood, children 0-6. That's why we support and advocate for quality early childhood development."--Thomas N.
