Cooking encourages children’s thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. It also allows the children the opportunity to use the knowledge they have and apply it by measuring, cause and effect, and counting. Parents and children cooking together teaches early math and science, encourages families to share meals more often, and get to know each other on a deeper level. The most important thing to remember is to have fun with your children as they have those learning experiences and learn about the joy of cooking.
RSVP to Pam Holland, pholland@jbncenters.com.

Arts and crafts promote development among children. Creating things with their hands helps to improve their motor skills, allowing the body’s muscles to move around. Painting, drawing, writing, and others also play a vital role in hand-eye coordination and muscle memory retention. When parents take an active role in their children’s development, children show greater social/emotional development, self-control, mental health, and school performance. You, as the parent, can make a positive impact on your child’s learning. We hope you’ll join us!

These are some of the skills needed for Kindergarten readiness. You and your child (ages 0-5) are learning when you are dancing, listening to music , or singing together.
