Free “Growing Up WILD” Workshop for Educators February 9th
First Baptist Childcare Center to host workshop

Alliance, OH – Both formal and non-formal educators who work with children ages three to seven are invited to attend a Growing Up WILD workshop in Stark County on Thursday, February 9th. The workshop, which will be facilitated by personnel from the Ohio Division of Wildlife, will be held at the First Baptist Childcare Center from 6:00pm-9:00pm.

Growing Up WILD is an early childhood education program that builds on children’s sense of wonder about nature and invites them to explore wildlife and the world around them.  Workshop participants will take home an easy-to-use book containing nearly 30 field-tested activities focusing on wildlife and nature. These activities blend social, emotional, physical, language, and cognitive skills to help foster learning and are correlated to the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Standards and the Head Start Domains.

There is no fee for the workshop but pre-registration is required by calling the Early Childhood Resource Center at (330) 491-3272. Spaces are limited.
