Students present three activities to Head Start staff, who select one for implementation. Students prepare and facilitate their activity at the event, gaining hands-on experience while further developing their soft skills. Key Club and former Child Development I students help us!
The Same Book Event is an annual collaboration in which Child Development I students partner with PEACE, Inc. to support early childhood learning and promote literacy. The book chosen this year was "The Very Hungry Caterpillar."

Last Wednesday, Emilie Felicia, MPH, a Public Health Educator at the Upstate New York Poison Center, spoke to Child Development I students about poisonings. She discussed look-alike products, strategies for preventing poisonings, and how to respond in the event of a poisoning.
