Happy December
It is hard to believe 2023 is already coming to an end! The 2023-2024 school year has been off to a great start and we look forward to more wonderful times to come in 2024.
As we enter into this holiday season, we encourage families to find meaningful ways to spend time together. The holidays can be a stressful time of the year. For your little one, it is special just to be together. Spending quality time together boost children's self-esteem and develops a positive sense of self-worth. Below are daily activities you can do at home over break that support different developmental domains such as literacy and math. The activities are quick ways to spend quality time with your child and support their learning and growth.
We wish you safe and happy holidays from everyone at World of Wonder
