🌻 Fun Fact: Oklahoma Child Care System!

Did you know? Oklahoma is home to one of the most innovative early childhood systems in the nation! 🌟

The state’s Reaching for the Stars quality rating and improvement system (QRIS) was one of the first in the country — setting high standards for excellence in child care.

Through the Oklahoma Human Services Child Care Services Division (OKDHS) and CECPD, providers receive support, training, and resources to build strong, nurturing environments for every child. 💛

That’s something to be proud of, Oklahoma — you’re leading the way in quality early learning! 🌾

🎃 Provider Tip of the Month — October Edition

“Play is the highest form of research.” — Albert Einstein

October is the perfect time to mix learning with a little spooky fun! 🍁 Encourage curiosity and exploration by turning everyday classroom moments into magical learning adventures.

Set up a Pumpkin Discovery Station where children can scoop, sort, and count pumpkin seeds — practicing fine motor skills and early math without even realizing it! Or try a “Witch’s Brew Sensory Bin” with water beads, spoons, and cups to inspire imaginative play. 🧙‍♀️

Remember, every giggle and “boo!” is a chance to learn. Keep the spirit of play alive and watch little minds light up like jack-o’-lanterns! ✨
