Child Safety Tip: Creating a "Yes" Environment for Children Creating a "yes" environment for children is a powerful way to promote safety, encourage exploration, and foster positive behavior. Here are some practical tips on how to achieve this: Childproofing: Ensure that your home or childcare space is safe for exploration. Use safety gates, cover electrical outlets, and secure heavy furniture to prevent accidents. Positive Reinforcement: Focus on what children can do rather than what they can’t. Set up areas with safe, engaging activities that encourage creativity and independence. Clear Boundaries: Establish clear, consistent rules that children can understand. Explain why certain areas or items are off-limits in a way that makes sense to them. Safe Exploration: Provide a variety of safe materials and spaces where children can explore freely. This helps them learn about their environment while staying protected from harm. Encouragement and Praise: Reinforce positive behavior with encouragement and praise. Acknowledge their efforts and successes, which boosts their confidence and motivation. By creating a "yes" environment, we empower children to explore and learn in a safe and supportive setting. It's all about making safety and positivity a natural part of their everyday experiences. What strategies have you found effective in creating a safe and encouraging environment for children? Share your tips below! #ChildSafety #PositiveParenting #ChildDevelopment #SafeEnvironment #EarlyChildhoodEducation

Happy Fun Friday! Every Friday we share an easy and fun activity you can do with children. These are perfect for both families and childcare providers! 💧Practice making predictions and using the scientific method (question, observe, predict, experiment, and discuss) with young children by playing a game of sink or float! 💧Drop different items in a tub or pool of water to see what settles to the bottom and what stays atop the water. 💧Ask open-ended questions or use "I wonder" statements to help children think critically about their observations. For example, "I wonder why the rock sunk to the bottom and the stick floated on the top of the water." 💧Add vocabulary words like buoyancy, weight, submerge, mass, and density to your conversation. Play is the best way to learn and practice new words! *Remember to always supervise children closely around water. This activity requires supervision.

At SOCI we're focused on both the immediate and long-term impact of providing quality early childhood education and childcare for working families. How does it immediately impact children? 80% of a child’s neural connections are in place by age 3. Early stress and deprivation can permanently stunt development. A safe child-care environment promotes healthy cognitive and social-emotional growth. Yes, we do formal assessments to ensure we're supporting SOCI scholar's development. BUT we also just ask them, the kids, and their parents how they're doing. We hear about how happy they are; how excited they are to go to "school," even little ones who can barely speak. We hear about how they like to share with their parents what they learned at school that day. That's what we want. Both measurable progress, and the all important metric of happiness.

We made it to Fun Friday! Every Friday we share an easy and fun activity you can do with children. These are perfect for both families and childcare providers! Tissue paper is thin and translucent enough to allow light through it, making it perfect for homemade "stained glass" art! For this activity, you'll need tissue paper, scissors, clear contact paper, construction paper or cardboard, and anything else you'd like to add. 1. Tear up different colors of tissue paper into small pieces. 2. Make a frame with construction paper or cardboard. Choose any shape you like or make it abstract! 3. Peel the backing off the contact paper and place the frame on it. 4. Stick the different colors of tissue paper to the clear contact paper inside the frame. 5. When finished, cover the back with clear contact paper and cut out the frame. 6. Hang it in the window and admire your "stained glass" art as the sun beams through it! ☀️🪟 This activity is great for creative expression, fine motor control, and also provides an opportunity to introduce new vocabulary. Have fun with it!

At the July AAUW Santa Cruz County Meeting "Let's Talk About Child Care". We brought people together who care about addressing the lack of available child care options in the county. We learned that there are many substantial funding streams available for subsidized childcare, including options for families that may have been considered high-income just a few years ago. Yet, there are not enough slots in child care centers in the county to accommodate these children. Particularly in the north county. Now, it's time to turn our discussions into actions that can make a real difference. Here are some key ways you can get involved and help improve childcare in our county: Families - The best way for families to find the right support is to complete the referral form on the Child Development Resource Center website. https://lnkd.in/ebq55ug4 They can also dial 2-1-1 a toll-free helpline to get assistance. - Encourage families to create or join a supportive community network such as The Circle or organizations at schools. - Increase awareness about the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program which offers temporary cash aid assistance, nutrition benefits, employment services, and health insurance to eligible families who have children. - If you own a business, support your employees by offering flexibility and childcare assistance. Or encourage your employer to do so. - Donate to organizations such as the Boys and Girls Clubs of Santa Cruz County. - Get involved by joining the board of a local childcare organization to help shape its mission and initiatives. - Volunteer at Community Bridges, for example, help in the community garden, drive families to appointments or read to children. - Encourage people to consider a career in Early Childhood Education and tell them about opportunities for education grants. - Spread the word about job opportunities in childcare - Open a new child care facility or support others. Share this information with people in your network who may benefit from it, such as educators, healthcare professionals, or anyone working with families. Spreading the word can help more families access the support they need. High-quality and accessible child care is essential for keeping California working. Your involvement can make a significant impact. Together, we can create a better future for the children and families of Santa Cruz County. Doreen O'Donovan, AAUW Santa Cruz County President

Collaboration is indeed inspiring.
It was inspiring to see so many community leaders unite with a shared goal of addressing the challenges families face, such as affordable quality childcare and kindergarten readiness, while developing solutions to empower families throughout our county. The proposals discussed promise to create lasting, positive impacts on families and our local economy. Through this collaboration, we can continue strengthening our community and ensure every child and family receives the support they need to thrive.
