Toddler One Week Two - Child Development and Family Center

Hello Toddler One Families,

We miss you guys! Hope my friends are getting some extra hugs and kisses in during this time. Thanks to our families for sharing pictures, videos and your kind words. We really appreciate it! I know how much my friends love to wash their hands and we can’t get them away from the sink! To continue practicing healthy habits. We would love to challenge our friends to Baby Shark Wash your Hands Challenge. Hopefully, my friends are following the proper hand washing procedures at home like we do at school. We would love to see your videos have fun with it and show us how you guys are staying healthy!
