Finding a preschool lesson plan for summer-themed learning can be tricky. A preschool curriculum that incorporates educational elements into summer-themed activities for classes can help!
Finding such lessons means teachers at your child care center often are forced to spend their time scouring the internet for craft ideas from blogs and Pinterest to keep kids engaged.
The 2023 Child Care Management Software Industry Trends Report from Procare Solutions found that 20% of those who responded to the survey used to compile the report cited issues with creating curriculum .
