Kind Act Ideas for Your Family
As part of our ongoing partnership with Sprout, the 24-hour preschool channel, we’re celebrating “Kindness Counts” — focusing on 10 kind acts that you can do together with your family. And remember, small acts matter big!
Want Kind Children? Show Them the Way.
As parents, we want our children to become caring and responsible citizens, as well as resourceful and resilient adults. So how do we influence our children in this direction? The answer lies in empowering our children, not controlling them. Find out how you can love and guide them by setting a path, but not walking it for them.
The Tutor Time Family-Teacher Partnership
Some childcare programs conduct parent-teacher conferences because they feel they’re expected to. At Tutor Time, our Family-Teacher Partnership conferences are much more than a casual conversation. Discover all that these meetings offer in addition to how your child is progressing across a full range of aptitudes and skills.
acTTivities
Every minute spent together with your child has the potential for a memory that will last her entire life. Increase the chances of your times spent together making a never-ending impression by joining together in mentally stimulating activities. They’ll keep your child progressing developmentally and provide opportunities to grow your relationship even more.
Look Closely, There’s an Artist Inside Your Child
An activity that is truly artistic and genuinely creative requires little adult assistance. As long as adults provide the freedom and the proper materials, children can create art on their own. This means that the children decide upon the idea and then find ways to create their idea using available materials. Can you imagine how exciting this process is for a young child? And imagine how fun this process is to watch!
Is Your Child Gifted? You Bet!
All kids have unique natural strengths, or gifts. But there is one common gift among all kids born after 2000: technology skills. Kids today who are born into the digital era are surrounded by technology at the same time they are learning how to speak and acquire language. They innately pick up skills the same way they develop any other skill at that age — by being immersed in what is around them.
We’ve Got Treats for You on Facebook
With Halloween in the rearview mirror, what did your child like best about it? The costumes? Candy? Hayrides? Or something else? Tell us about his/her spooktacular time on our Facebook page — and don’t forget to post pictures!
