Celebrating Earth Day

On April 22 of each year we celebrate Earth Day in order to raise awareness and demonstrate support for environmental protection. Whether or not your early childhood program is planning Earth Day events this year, it is important for all early childhood professionals to take some time to reflect on environmental issues as they pertain to young children. Earth Day comes once a year, but those who respect the environment and accept the responsibility of environmental stewardship know that the principles and values of Earth Day must be present every day.  For more information on Earth Day in the Early Childhood Setting, read CCEI's April Newsletter!
