Celebrating Together: Tips & Tools for Providers

You can use these resources to host a workshop for parents and Family Friend and Neighbor caregivers in your setting. Consider the following ideas and facilitation tips to provide a high-quality, informative, and playful experience!  

1. Begin by watching the “Social Chat: Celebrating Together” video together with parents and/or FFNs. Discuss the ideas from the video and invite participants to share what they enjoy most about caring for children, what they appreciate about their parent/caregiver counterpart, and one thing they’d like to do to say, “Thank you.”  

2. Print and share the Showing Appreciation and printable activity to reference for more ideas and discussion prompts.   

3. Finally, if you have more time, introduce more Sesame Workshop resources that support the theme, such as: 

• Building Confidence (Video)  
• Thankful Hearts (Printable)  
• What I Am (Video)
