We were so excited to see these wooden wheelbarrows and mud tables roll in from @CommunityPlayUS to engage our 3- to 5-year-olds in sensory play, help develop fine and gross motor skills, and more. This was all made possible by an @Arthrex grant. Thank you! #earlylearning

Playing with the whole body, mind, and surroundings is a child’s job. Young children thrive when this fundamental need for whole body play can be met. What does this mean for educators and parents? ow.ly/mVs050uK3Rt #ECE #FirstDayOfSummer

Early ed facilities often have to make the best of "leftover" facilities - buildings designed for other purposes, church basements, &, for @ChildCareAssoc, a bank! Hats off to Millbrook Community Preschool in NY for its thoughtful design! tinyurl.com/y3xrs537 #BestPlaces4Kids
