The topic of this session will be Food! Do you think is there something such as “picky eaters” or this could be related to sensory integration and child development?
Come to discuss with other leaders’ ideas and challenges about food and get a fun recipe for your program. Take a sneak peek of our Wiggle, Giggle and Munch’s Food workshop.
Our first Networking Peer group session will be on June 18 at noon (until 1:30) via Zoom.
