Get Outdoors to Spark Development

Hello Parents, YAY for spring! I am really looking forward to sunny days, and spring flowers. I think of spring as a new beginning. It is the time of year to do spring cleaning in the house, the garage. It’s a time of “out with old and in with the new.” It helps me to prepare for a wonderful upcoming summer season. Think about the outdoors!

Visiting the Lorain County Metro Parks is a great way to take your child on an adventure. Lorain County has wonderful parks and services, so please take advantage of them. Your child’s development will benefit greatly from these activities because they cover all of the major domains and learning areas: Language, Literacy, Physical, Social/Emotional, Math, Science and Social Studies. These domains are the foundation of school readiness and preparing your child for kindergarten. In the past several months, our Education and Disabilities team has revised our School Readiness Goals for the next program year. Be on the lookout for more information.

LCCAA will be closed for spring break beginning Friday April 7 and we will resume school and regular services the week of April 17. It is my hope that you will have a great spring break and holiday.

Enjoy Spring,

Shauna Matelski, Ed.D. Head Start Director
