PJ Goes To School: Launch, Lunch and Learn with Lisa Litman from the Harold Grinspoon Foundation
PJ Goes to School is launching for the first time in Canada and Toronto is honoured to be the first Canadian city to receive it! Join Lisa Litman from the Harold Grinspoon Foundation to learn how to incorporate PJ Goes to School into your early childhood program.
This workshop is geared toward the Directors of Early Childhood Education at your school.
PJ Goes to School is a companion program to PJ Library, which works with schools and educators to enhance the Jewish content of early childhood programs. The program, beginning in Fall 2018, is targeted to your 3-4 year old classrooms. Each month throughout the year, your Early Childhood program will be provided with a kit of theme based books, curriculum resource guides, professional development opportunities, and potential scholarships to Jewish ECE conferences for your ECE teachers.
The best part is that it is FREE of charge!
