Embracing The Whole Child-The Foundation of Excellence Miss Carolene & Company (Carolene Jackson, Stephanie Jackson Yoder, Chanda Nease Jackson, & Chelsea Jackson Villines) Excellent child care professionals are truly “embracing” children every day!

In our society where there is more and more focus being placed on cognitive development, we will explore the importance of embracing all aspects of the child. Carolene discovered that this is true for children and their caregivers all around the word when she taught in China last fall. She will share some of those observations during the presentation.
