Here you will find valuable information on child care including how to find quality child care and how to become a licensed childcare provider.
Women Infants and Children better known as "WIC" is a government service whose mission is to provide nutrition to pregnant women, children birth through age 5 and families who would "otherwise be at risk." WIC gives out coupons or vouchers for various food items including milk, bread, cheese, peanut butter, fruits, veggies and formula, families then go to the grocery store and pay for these food items using their coupons.

Much of the resources talked about this week have been for at risk children, children and families in poverty and although these are valuable resources there are some children who just do exceptionally well in school. These children are known or often times labeled as "gifted." These children can be just as much at risk for "falling through the cracks" as a child who comes from poverty because these children are not being challenged enough especially academically. The resources above directs you to a website that has 48 links for parents or caregivers of children who are labeled "gifted."
Hello Kathyrn , you have listed some interesting articles that parents as well as educator could use to deepen their perspective of early childhood education. The WIC for families is a great organization that can help parents with planning nutritious meals for their family.
ReplyDeleteHello Kathyrn!
ReplyDeleteI see you listed a lot of publications from NAEYC, these are great resources I like to use for families I come in contact with when they have questions like: How does Pre-K promote school readiness? and What ways can you advocate for my child? I also like that you focused on the WIC program as it is a wonderful program and I know many families who participate. This helps families with ideas on what to feed their young ones when it comes to formula or starting solid food. Thanks for sharing.
