Cultivating Farm to Early Childhood
Cultivating Farm to Early Childhood (FTEC) is an opportunity for Family Child Care, Head Start, Center-Based and Public Pre-K educators to explore and expand their personal and professional knowledge and experience related to Farm to Early Childhood programming while building and strengthening community connections. Participants will immerse themselves in hands-on child centered learning experiences like pickling, taste testing and wool felting along with practical discussions for community networking with local farmers and food system experts to build their knowledge of and teaching practices in FTEC programming. Learn how FTEC concepts help meet multiple standards across licensing, CACFP, VELS and STARS by promoting children’s learning in social emotional well-being, healthy eating habits, family engagement and community building.
Fee: $10 (includes snacks, lunch and materials)
