🚒🔥 A HUGE thank you to our local Fire Department and Ambulance District for visiting the ECC this week to help us celebrate Fire Prevention Week! ❤️ Our little learners loved meeting our community helpers and learning how to stay safe! 🚑👨‍🚒

[Dr. Todd, Executive Director of Early Learning @EarlyLearningDr]

This week, we’ve been learning all about community helpers who use tubes & tunnels. We talked about how firefighters use hoses (tubes) to help put out fires! Then we sang “Hurry, Hurry Drive the Firetruck” each student got a turn to pretend to be a firefighter & put out the fire.
