Weāre starting the year with Core Skill Routine Introduction Weeks to ensure our little ones have the foundation they need for a year of growth and success. The Core Skill Routines support childrenās Relate, Regulate, and Communicate skills. By integrating the routines into your daily practice, you not only support individual development, but also foster a shared language within your classroom and program. The Core Skill Routine Introduction Weeks are the perfect place to kick off your year. And, the Core Skill Routines are now available for infants.
You can find the Core Skill Routine Introduction Weeks on the *new* digital curriculum portal. More information and videos of the routines being used in the classroom can be found in our on-demand learning courses. Learn more about them, below!
