CentroNía Maryland: Father's day family engagement
This past month we celebrated Father's Day and one way our early leaners of CentroNía Maryland decided to commemorate the occasion is through their family engagement activity. With their CentroNía father's, our early leaners took the time for some fun arts and crafts activities to show their love and appreciation for all that their superstar dads do!

Take a look at some of these photos to see what our CentroNía families created for this year's Father's day holiday!
Everyone — including children ages 6 months and older — should get a COVID vaccine for protection against the worst outcomes of COVID. Learn more at cdc.gov/coronavirus.
