    “Polaroid’s Visual Learning – Visual Literacy built awareness among educators and parents about the importance of visual learning in early childhood. Polaroid and Scholastic created a teacher in-service education program that gave early childhood practitioners the opportunity to earn a continuing education unit (CEU) and/or 10 contact training hours…. Educators could do the program through the guide they received in Early Childhood Today Magazine or through the online course on Scholastic.com and Polaroid.com” (Source: Scholastic.com)  What could you offer parents to make it easier for them to be purposeful parents?.
