What's in Your Toolkit?
By: Janet Moro, Little Sprouts
You have your day planned out and you are excited for the children to arrive. Nothing seems to go as you planned, the children were not engaged in your activities. What do you do? You have to have a back up plan. Join us as we talk about what your backup plan could look like. Are you quick on your feet? Do you plan for the unexpected? We will show you some things that you can put in your own bag of tricks so that your children are excited and engaged.
