EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
SPECIAL EVENTS MONTHLY EVENTS
ECE Curriculum Day Manic Mondays
Wednesday, September 27, 6 – 7 pm
Here at The J’s ECE we are working on creating a foundation
of learning from the very beginning.  Building children’s social
and emotional qualities are just as important as the early
understanding of physics and literature appreciation.  Experience
our curriculum with us during our annual curriculum night.
ECE discover CATCH Field Day
Wednesday, October 25, 9 am – Noon
Each age group will have a selected time slot to demonstrate
discover CATCH activities. The classrooms collaborate, plan
and carry out age-appropriate physical activities such as
games, obstacle courses, or music and movement with the
children. All of the parents are invited to join in the play and
see what their child does relating to health and wellness in
our program. Snack included!
Grassy Area
Lunch Five for Five
Sunday, November 12, 6 – 7:30 pm
Parents can prepare and pack five nutrient-enriched lunches
covering the five basic food group categories - a dairy, a grain,
a fruit, a vegetable and a protein. Instead of having to go
out and buy a bunch of pre-packaged sugar enriched items,
due to time constraints in your busy lives, you can share and
receive fantastic ideas for making healthy eating fun for
everyone in your own homes!
