CENTER HAPPENINGS

DR. SEUSS AND MISTER ROGERS CELEBRATIONS

The month of March was a celebration of children through two very influential child advocates, Dr. Seuss

and Fred Rogers. These are pictures of the artwork and activities that took place to remember the great

works of these childhood favorites. From puppet making to designing their own musical instruments, even

using their very own culinary techniques in decorating cupcakes, and learning how to be “neighborly”, the

children’s activities were a new adventure each day.

parents concerning HiMama skill levels:

Pennsylvania’s Learning Standards for Early Childhood

are research-based according to age and development,

and form the foundation for curriculum, assessment,

instruction and intervention within early care and

education programs. The numbers that are assigned to

each skill do not reflect a skill level. It is for reference
