PRESCHOOL MATH AND SCIENCE AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD Presented by: DCPS Staff Are you looking for a fun way to boost your preschool child’s math and science skills? Young children are curious and eager learners. This course will discuss hands-on math and science activities for families to do around the house and in the neighborhood.

THE POWER OF YET Presented by: DCPS Staff Young children can learn to be confident and resilient. We will be discussing the power of the word “yet” and how one simple word can help prevent failure. Instead of thinking “I can’t do it” we will be discussing ways to help children think “I can’t do it yet”. Adults and children who learn to value learning and develop a growth mindset are more likely to be successful when facing a challenge.
