A big-shout out to Dobie Pre-K’s Nurse Gloria for leading our “Winter Wellness” PAT Group Connection. Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks on healthy eating, good sleep habits, and the importance of exercise.
At the RISD Family Center, we know that early interactions with books are key milestones in a child's development!📚📷Watching a young child explore the pages of a book with an adult fosters language skills, cognitive growth, and emotional bonding.
