We always strive to make the lessons at Gan relevant and meaningful. Lessons that the children can live with and use in their day to day life.
To help us accomplish one of our goals for this unit: of defraying any fears some of the little ones might have had with "Ambulances" or "Paramedics/People in uniform"- we invited our neighboring EMT's to teach the children about what they do!
By the end of this visit...the children understood that these people are our "HELPERS!"
The paramedics demonstrated how they might measure a child to see how tall he/she is and how much he/she might weigh!

| Unsure about getting in the ambulance at first... slowly their fears dissipated! |
When it was time to say good-bye, the kind paramedics gave each child a gift! Coloring book, crayons, pencil and a sparkling Junior Paramedic Sticker!
We are so lucky to live in a neighborhood where we have such kind community helpers!
