I just wanted to share how the LLCC Child Development Center staff has made the seemingly impossible be such a positive experience for our families.

These teachers and assistants have done such positive things to keep our children and families stay engaged virtually through the COVID-19 outbreak. They have been doing things like holding remote circle time through Zoom, uploading play lists of children’s favorite songs for families, reading stories to the children via YouTube, using Padlet to allow families to post pictures of their children for the other families to see, posting recipes and even including a daily post from our guinea pig, Patches! The ingenuity of the LLCC Child Development Center staff when presented with a challenge that they have never before experienced is to be commended!

On top of all of that, they are spending their days learning through a variety of professional development opportunities to make our center even stronger when we return.

I could not be prouder of this group and how they have created positive, virtual ways to engage our children and families!
