“The play day is a fun and educational event that honors young children and all those who make a difference in their lives,” said Wendy Ruiz, associate director of infant/toddler programs at the college’s center for Early Childhood Education and Santa Clarita co-chair of the Southern California Valley Association for the Education of Young Children, which is sponsoring the event along with local childcare programs.
“All young children need and deserve high-quality early learning experiences that will prepare them for life,” said Ruiz.
Play Day will be highlighted by storytelling, arts and crafts, music, an obstacle course, as well as math and science activities.
The play day will be held in the Honor Grove at the College of the Canyons Valencia Campus from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. “Parents are welcome to bring a picnic lunch and participate in many activities from painting, to obstacle courses and music,” said Ruiz.
Free water bottles will be available throughout the day.
Established in 1971 by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), the world’s largest early childhood education association, the Week of the Young Child focuses public attention on the needs of young children and their families and presents the early childhood programs and services that meet those needs.
