Screen-Free Week
April 29 – May 3
Screen-free week is a national celebration
where children, families, schools, and communities turn off entertainment
screen media and turn on life. It’s a
time to unplug and play, read, daydream, create, explore, and spend more time
with family and friends.
Jessamine Early Learning Village wants to challenge you and your family to
take part in Screen-Free Week during the week of April 29 – May 3. More
information about this week will be coming in your child’s folder.
