Celebrating Hanukkah at ECDA
What fun we’ve had celebrating Hanukkah at The Early Childhood Development Associates! Parents, toddlers, infants, and staff have all enjoyed singing Hanukkah songs, lighting the menorah, and making potato latkes! We feel at ecda that partaking in these fun holiday rituals gives children of all ages a sense of strength and stability. And the earlier you start, the better!
