Male Involvement Makes A DifferenceResearchers found that dad's involvement in school, whether it's attending a conference or chaperoning a field trip, has a positive influence on their child's performance, even if they don't live with their child. SUM Child Development, Inc. has received a National Father's Initiative Grant. A variety of Dad's Days are being held throughout the three counties. The vents are being held on Saturdays and or evenings to ensure working dads can attend. Dads participate in a variety of activities with thier children and are provided with information/training on the subject of "How Children Learn through Play". A strong emphasis on the importance of literacy is also part of the day's activities. We haven't forgotten about mothers...the days are featured as a Dad's Day and Mom's day alone without preschoolers!! Every mom received a gift bag just for her! The pictures attest to the joy of the children having their daddy's at school!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
