    Posted 03-25-2024 09:11:00 AM

    Hi Everyone!

    Just a reminder that the March Meet-up for ECE Educators is coming up on Wednesday.  See details below:

    March Meet-up for Early Childhood Educators 
    Topic: Engaging Young Children in the Garden
    Date: Wednesday, March 27th at 7 PM ET
    Join us for a virtual small group discussion sharing ideas for planning developmentally
    appropriate garden activities for young children. Bring your favorite activity or garden
    adaptation to share as we swap ideas for adapting gardening fun so that it matches the
    interests and attention spans of children ages 3 to 5. Open to anyone (teachers,
    volunteers, caregivers and more) gardening with kids in ECE settings (i.e., preschools,
    Head Starts, daycares, and home).
