CHILDREN and SCREEN TIME! On January 29, 2026, the Infants and Toddlers Program, in collaboration with the Judy Center, will host a caregiver training titled “Children and Screen Time: What We Know and What Should Parents Do About It?”

Dr. Matt Edelstein, Director of the Brief Treatment Clinic at the Kennedy Krieger Institute, will present to parents, caregivers, childcare providers, and private/parochial school partners during a morning and early evening session.

This is a free training for our community and is paid for using IDEA Part C and Judy Center grant funds. Dr. Edelstein’s presentation will provide attendees with greater knowledge and awareness of the impact of screen time on behavior and development. Additionally, attendees will learn more about how to set limits on devices and other media applications.

Our thanks to everyone who took time to nominate one of our outstanding teachers for Wicomico Teacher of the Year. When nominations closed last Tuesday Wicomico County Public Schools had received 803 submissions, so we know our community appreciates its teachers.

We look forward to the recognition of nominees by our schools in December, and then in January the quarterfinalists and semifinalists will be announced. One of the semifinalist teachers will be named the next Wicomico Teacher of the Year on April 9. Excited to find out which of our outstanding teachers that will be!
