Maximizing the Power of Preschool: Tips for Reinforcing Learning at Home

Mark your calendars! The Dover Preschool Parent Academy is hosting its first parent workshop of the year on Thursday, October 17th from 5:30-6:30 pm at the Dover Early Learning Center II.

This year's workshop is all about helping your little ones carry over what they learn in preschool into their everyday lives. As parents, we play a crucial role in reinforcing the skills and knowledge our children gain during the school day.

Join us to learn practical tips and strategies you can use at home to support your child's learning and development. This is a great opportunity to connect with other parents, ask questions, and even win some exciting prizes through our raffle!

Don't miss out - register at the link here .

We look forward to seeing you there!
