What's Doe's Love Have To Do With It?
What does love have to do with it? How do we support emotional health in children, families and staff?
February is known as the month of love, and we show love to others by connecting with them. I have heard people say that they give compliments to others, and that should be enough, but is this a true connection? Let's look at some quick and easy ways that we can really bring the LOVE back to the early childhood classroom.
