As Congress continues to discuss ways to address the child care crisis, we are advocating that the CDA be embedded into federal regulations as the preferred entry-level credential for early childhood professionals.

Today is National Children's Craft Day! In celebration, we're sharing about an upcoming CAN event, Colorful Interactions: Art for Infants & Toddlers (Capturing the Process) with Kenneth Robinson. ??: https://ow.ly/MR8L50VieUS Join us on March 20th at 12:00 PM ET for an exciting session that explores the enchanting world of art through the vibrant perspectives of infants and toddlers! This experience highlights how vital unrestricted creative expression is for young minds. As children dive into art activities, they not only unleash their emotions but also sharpen their motor skills and boost their cognitive growth. We'll emphasize the pivotal role early educators play in nurturing this creativity, encouraging them to celebrate the joyous process of creation. By focusing on each child's unique artistic journey rather than the finished product, we can cultivate a lifelong love for creativity and empower our little ones to express themselves freely. . . . #NationalChildrensCraftDay #EarlyChildhoodEducation #ArtForToddlers #CreativeExpression #InfantArt #ToddlerArt #ChildDevelopment #ECECommunity #ArtEducation #CreativeLearning #CANEvent #CouncilCAN #EarlyEducators #ProcessOverProduct #MotorSkillsDevelopment #CognitiveGrowth #UnleashingCreativity #ArtForKids #JoinUsLive #EmpowerYoungMinds
