Sometimes I come across really great information that doesn’t exactly fit into our article or events category but which I think should be shared with our MacKid families. So Bits & Pieces was created. If you have any Bits & Pieces you’d like to share email your Bits & Pieces to me at cynthiay@macaronikid.com
This week's Bits & Pieces is about choosing quality care for your children and three contests for Miami-Dade County students.
How to Choose Quality Care for your Children
Looking for a child care provider? Here is a checklist of what to look for and what questions to ask, as published by the Early Learning Coalition of Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties.
