Child care programs tend to celebrate fall in all sorts of ways.  Some have costume parties, others have fall carnivals or harvest celebrations.  If a number of your families celebrate Halloween in the traditional sense, you may be interested in Halloween Safety for all Ages posted today in free things for teachers and free things for parents.  And I just received the Spanish translation so I posted that also.  In addition to tips for keeping children safe (which, I’m glad to see are prevalent this time of year) I’ve included information on how children view Halloween at different developmental stages.  As you know, fun and more fun to some children can be way to spooky for others.  If this information is something you are interested in, please send your parents to our web site or download the page and distribute it to your families.

I can’t resist dressing up.  I think I’ll be a pirate (a nice one) of course!
