In early learning environments, building strong relationships with families is crucial for a child’s sense of well-being. At a young age, children’s development is deeply influenced by their relationships. When educators work closely with families, they create a strong support system that helps children grow in all areas—emotionally, socially, cognitively and physically.

Winter is a magical time for children! It provides opportunities for children to connect with nature, explore the snowy landscapes and stay physically active. Taking time to celebrate winter is a wonderful way for educators to teach children the value of being outside, being present and playing in the snow!
