PLASP children and staff have been showing off their artistic talents this holiday season! From music concerts and theatrical performances, to making decorations and attending parties and puppet shows, there has been no lack of creativity in program over the past few weeks!

Some PLASP locations have even been so lucky to have the big guy himself, Santa stop by to bring a little extra holiday cheer to children and their families.

Santa! I know him!

In the spirit of inclusion, PLASP program also often provides an opportunity for children and their families to learn about holiday traditions from cultures other than their own. At one PLASP location, children and their parents had the opportunity to learn about the Iranian celebration of Yalda, which takes place on the longest and darkest night of the year and is often celebrated by reading poetry, sharing food and enjoying the company of friends and family.

Watermelon, pomegranate, and dried fruits are some traditional foods shared during Yalda.

No matter what you celebrate, how you celebrate, or who you celebrate with, PLASP Child Care Services wishes you and yours a very happy and safe holiday season and we look forward to seeing you in the New Year!

Together, our PLASP families make up a mosaic of nurturing and friendship.
