With so many children returning to the classroom this Fall, our team feels it's important to highlight the emotions children may experience as we transition to this new normal. Schools and child care centers truly are a safe place for our children, and you, as educators and care providers, play such an important role. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do to support our children through this unprecedented time. We hope this guest post is helpful as we navigate this new school year!

Back to school is upon us and this year it may be more exciting than ever for all of us! We love seeing you--whether in the classroom or at home--refreshing your learning centers and ideas for the Fall. What new things are you incorporating this year? Have you added some new community figures into your block play area, or what about some community helper dress up clothes into your dramatic play time? And sensory play--what can you shake up there?
