The Lake County Child Care Planning Council offers help in creating Early Learning Pods!
An Early Learning Pod is a playgroup of no more than six children and one designated adult per child where socialization days are set. This allows children to interact freely, play and potentially have learning days with focused curriculum.
Early learning opportunities play a critical part in children’s development. An Early Learning Pod will help children ages 0-5 learn social and emotional skills which have been found to be one of the most important Kindergarten Readiness skills a child can have.
Early Learning Pod Levels
Different levels of Early Learning Pods offer different materials. The Lake County Child Care Planing Council has set up four group levels determined by age. Infant, Toddler, Preschool and mixed age. To learn more about the different levels, visit the Learning Pod Levels Webpage.
Materials include but are not limited to:
- Arts and crafts supplies
- Building blocks and materials
- Large and small motor skill materials
- Books
- Age appropriate learning kits
