Join early childhood professionals for interactive sessions to support children’s growth and school readiness. Discover practical activities to enhance daily routines, build a sense of identity and connection, and strengthen bonds through meaningful mealtime, playtime, and bedtime moments. With 90% of brain development happening by age 5, these early years are vital for creating a strong foundation. Families will enjoy dinner and take-home materials to continue the learning journey at home.  This series is sponsored by the Early Childhood Advisory Council through a grant from the Maryland State Department of Education.
