It is once again hard to believe how quickly time is passing and that we are nearly two-thirds of the way through summer. It has been another busy few months at the center, as evident through the great deal of news and announcements in this newsletter. From wishing farewell to training program graduates in June to welcoming nearly 30 new trainees in July along with several new faculty and staff members in the meantime – to honoring Juneteenth, awardees, new appointments, and retirees – it has been a joy to celebrate with so many members of our community over the past two months. Now, as we look ahead to the start of the fall semester, I look forward to another engaging year of Grand Rounds sessions kicking off again in September – please do be sure to preview the wonderful line-up of speakers planned for the Fall semester, linked below – as well as an annual open house at our 350 George Street location now open to area providers, our annual associates meeting being planned for early November, and so much more. I do hope you will enjoy learning more about many of these things in this month’s news. Indeed, I am grateful to our newsletter readers and subscribers for your interest, support, and commitment to children and families.

Connecticut teachers want you to know that “play-based learning” is not an oxymoron.
For years child development and education experts have praised the benefits of play-based learning — a pedagogy that drives organic and lasting academic growth through activities that spark curiosity, engagement and joy in young students. Now, Connecticut legislation makes an explicit commitment to play-based learning in statute. The Gesell Program in Early Childhood at the Yale Child Study Center's Director, Dr. Peg Oliveira, weighs in on the importance of this new law.
