@SouthwestECC@JCSchools_ @jcschoolselemed Good reminder today that PLAY (especially outdoor play and messy play) is crucial for core development, which must happen for good fine motor development to occur. "Core stability before finger mobility." 60% of the school day requires fine motor skills!
Thankful to be part of a district that supports our youngest learners and their parents in their role as children's first and most influential teachers.
Thank you! We are so excited to be able to bring books on our home visits that go with our discussion topics such as safety, sleep, health, nutrition and more

Children who read well tend to stay in school and achieve the most in life. One of the best ways to help your child become a good reader is to share books with her starting when she is young. PAT supports early literacy during home visits. #JCReads
Fathers play a big role in their child's development. Research from Harvard shows that the impact of being read to by their fathers is huge, especially if dads start reading to kids under the age of two. PAT encourages all parents to read with their children! #JCReads
It's never too early to read to your baby! What you choose to read is less important than the interaction between you while you read it. PAT supports reading with babies even before they are born, as they are already beginning to recognize familiar sounds and voices. #JCReads
