🦃Celebrate the season with a burst of creativity! This TA activity allowed children to express themselves by arranging vibrant leaves on a board and transforming them into whimsical turkey wings to wear and enjoy.

Our Technical Assistance (TA) visits help providers meet their goals on the individual developmental needs of their children!

NHI coach, Dani, works with one of her providers on floor play and tummy time that helps improve young children's physical development!

With the seasons changing it can often be harder to find activities to do outside. Check out a few of our Outdoor Play activities that can be incorporated into outdoor learning! These activities can be done with items you already have on hand.

[Nurturing Homes Initiative @NurturingHomes]

NHI is helping by elevating the learning environment! During our Technical Assistance visits, we provide different activities to engage children - all aimed at meeting the developmental needs of the children providers are serving.
