York Day Early Learning

Lots of great things are happening at York Day Early Learning! We're sending a BIG thank you to everyone who helps make this work possible in our latest e-news ✨ https://lnkd.in/ewwyWbJE

We’ve been Falling into all kinds of apple fun! Our Pre-K classes had an applesauce day filled with apple activities in all three rooms. We rotated through the classroom stations- applesauce making, sensory/art/STEM, and a gross motor/game room. The changing seasons are a great opportunity to incorporate seasonal activities to keep students engaged 🧡 #yorksyoungestlearners #greatbeginningsforbrightfutures #investinearlyeducation

There's lots of news about the struggle to recruit and retain early education providers (as there should be!). It makes us even more thankful to celebrate our dedicated team, who makes daily moments like this happen. Our teachers incorporate play into learning so #YorksYoungestLearners can explore, discover, and find JOY in learning. Keep supporting those in early childhood education. They are truly laying the groundwork for our community's future! #investinearlyeducation #communitysupport #greatbeginningsforbrightfutures #iamprek

Did you know that coloring with chalk helps young children develop their fine motor skills, which help them as they learn to write? The students at York Day continue to incorporate fun into their learning, and we are seeing great results in their skills! #themoreyouknowthemoreyougrow #investinearlyeducation #yorksyoungestlearners

We have been busy this week during the The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Week of the Young Child! Today is "Work Together" Wednesday and we are proud to host a member of our Board of Directors, Anisha Morrison and her collegaue Kimmy Lay from PNC. It truly takes a village and we are so grateful that PNC is a part of ours!

A very happy morning of fellowship for our annual pancake breakfast with over 100 family members coming to have breakfast with their children. Pancakes, eggs, bacon, and sausage set our kids and their families up for a successful Friday! A special thank you to Truist for sponsoring our family engagement this school year and all the York Day Early Learning staff, and board members who made this morning possible.

Our friends at JLS Automation were kind enough to run a book drive for our students in celebration of Read Across America Day! They know that every book a child encounters is an opportunity to hone critical early literacy skills while also sparking curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. We're grateful JLS is part our network of community supporters who help us create Great Beginnings for Bright Futures every day!

Rutter's Children's Charities ran their Secret Santa program again this year and our Board President Christopher R. came through for us in a big way! We're so thankful that Chris chose to direct his donation to York Day Early Learning because he knows how donations like these directly support the children and families who depend on us for the care and education of their young children. Thank you, Christopher R., you're a true champion for children!!
