This section contains resources for educators of young children. These resources have been designed to help you target physical, developmental, and social-emotional learning as your children engage in age-appropriate and active learning in your care setting. 

These activities were written to be used by educators in family child care, center-based, or school-based settings. They are inexpensive, easy to do, and can be adapted to fit children’s needs and interests. 

The Topics/Skills activities focus on seven key topic areas. These topic areas form the foundation of skills young children need as they progress into the next level of learning found in the Massachusetts Early Learning Curriculum Unit activities. The seven topic areas are:

• Math
• Music & Dance
• Playing
• Reading
• Science
• Talking & Listening
• Writing
