CANO State Preschool

Hope you’re ready when the turkeys come marching in this Thanksgiving!

Cano is remembering all veterans this Wednesday, November 11th

In these challenging times, all families need reassurance that: o they discovered a way out, when it seemed like the way forward was unclear; o they have always taught personal and cultural knowledge to their children, because they knew that school knowledge would only allow them to survive and not thrive; o they are brilliant, beautiful, brave, and part of what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. described as the Beloved Community; and... we educators see your humanity and your light in the dark, and we honor your cultural knowledge of raising and teaching your children to the best of your ability. excerpt from article by Brian Wright, PhD, an associate professor and program coordinator of early childhood education and coordinator of the middle school cohort of the African American Male Academy at the University of Memphis.

Something's cooking this month- it's all black and white!

Something colorful is waiting for Fall Fest... or is Fall Fest waiting for something colorful? Either way, it's still from Cano!

A picture tells a thousand words...and numbers!

Getting ready for Fall Fest with pumpkins...

Keep an eye (or two) out for the pumpkins! From Ms. Yanira's class.

Kreeeeepy things are happening this month in Ms. Juli's class!

To all those families out there trying to keep it together and juggle work life and family life, remember this: it’s okay to feel overwhelmed. To get through these times, consider the following: RECOGNIZE your child’s feelings. Tantrums, sleep inconsistencies, and a constant need for attention may be behaviors stemming from adjusting to change. Take the time to recognize what’s happening so that you’re able to respond to and comfort your child. REFRAME the behavior in a more ...positive direction. Take your child out for a walk, or pause what you’re doing to build a structure out of cardboard boxes. Engage in a planting activity, or dance! RECOVER. Self-care and giving yourself time to breathe are two basic actions you as the caregiver can do to be able to keep going. Stay positive and safe. And don’t forget: we are all in this together. excerpt from Nagwa Elsamra, MSW, is an early childhood senior technical assistant specialist at Central Jersey Family Health Consortium.
