Parenta Magazine
Every month we bring together a collection of articles relating to the childcare industry, utilising experts in the form of our guest authors who provide an insight into their specialist topics. Give it a read, share it with colleagues and friends. We hope you enjoy it.
Hello and welcome to the June edition of the Parenta magazine!
Summer is upon us and this month, we celebrate the longest day of the year - the summer solstice (or Midsummer’s Day) on the 21st of June. We look at how we can celebrate the day in our own settings and take a whistle-stop tour around the world to explore how other countries mark their own summer solstice.
Another occasion to celebrate this month is Father’s Day on the 18th of June - turn to page 31 to learn the origins of this special day, and how we can give thanks to the male role models in our lives. We put our Parenta juniors’ creative flair to the test and have come up with ‘My dad rocks’ and ‘Heart art’ – two great crafts for you to do in your setting!
It’s a packed edition as usual, with articles from nutrition expert, Louise Mercieca, neurodivergence specialist, Joanna Grace, well-being and nurturing experts, Stacey Kelly and Kathryn Peckham, and music and movement experts, Frances Turnbull, and Gina Bale.
Everything you read in the magazine is written to help with the efficient running of your setting and to promote the health, happiness, and well-being of the children in your care.
Please feel free to share the magazine with friends, parents and colleagues – they can sign up to receive their copy at www.parenta.com/magazine.
