Taking place on Sunday, March 11 from 12-3pm at the Metropolitan Pavilion (125 West 18th Street), kids and parents alike can delight in music, jousting, crafts and more. Learn more about the cause and the family-friendly festivities below! What is the mission of the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation (DRI)? As the largest and most comprehensive research center dedicated to curing diabetes, the DRI is aggressively working to shrink the timeline toward the discovery of a biological cure for this disease. Having already shown that diabetes can be reversed through islet transplantation, the DRI is building upon these promising outcomes by bridging cell-based therapies with emerging technologies. The Diabetes Research Institute was created for one reason—to cure diabetes—which is and will continue to be its singular focus until that goal is reached. For the millions of people affected by diabetes, the DRI is the best hope for a cure. For more information, call 1-800-321- 3437 or visit DiabetesResearch.org. This will be the 7th Carnival for a Cure. What kind of fun can families look forward to? The Carnival for a Cure is the city's largest indoor carnival for kids (and fun for parents, too!). We are excited to announce that Jenna Rose will be our special guest performer. At the young age of 13 (and no stranger to the stage), Jenna has been performing all over Long Island and NY, headlining concerts at locations like Jones Beach, Landmark Theater and The Bitter End. Kids will also enjoy a slew of the most sought-after games like Gladiator Joust, Micro Reality Race Track, Bungee Bull, a karaoke machine, Guitar Hero and other arcade games, 7x7 foosball and Ultimate Gaga in the Gaga Pit. In between, they can catch a magic trick by roaming performers, laugh at clowns, get their faces painted or participate in arts and crafts. And what's a carnival without food? Offering something for everyone, the event will feature fare from Bridgewaters & Twenty Four Fifth, La Esquina and food truck Sweetery NYC; Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs, Pretzel Crisps, popchips and organic Clif Bars; items from Trader Joe's, Edible Arrangements and Fresh Direct; and tasting tables hosted by Cabot Creamery and Hillside Candy, manufacturers of GoLightly sugar-free candy. Wash it down with beverages by Honest Tea and water sponsor, WAT-AAH! I hear there will be a silent auction, as well. What are some of the offerings? While kids run wild, parents can roam the silent auction, featuring several exclusive offerings such as a chance to have "Elmo" from Sesame Street leave a personalized voicemail for your child, tickets to Broadway shows like Sister Act and Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Pinkalicious branded items, high-end hotel stays, sports packages, jewelry and more. How can a family get involved in the cause and the event? We encourage anyone interested in helping find the cure visit diabetesresearch.org and get involved however they can. Ticket information is available at the site with individual tickets costing $75 per child and $100 per adult. Children under 17 must be accompanied by an adult.

    Playing Every Day on Sesame Street Global Learnings from a Play-Based Pilot Intervention in India, Mexico, and South Africa • Kim Foulds and Abby Bucuvalas Research has shown that playful learning helps foster the development of young children. Adult guidance of this play in meaningful ways can unlock the transformative power of education. Lack of knowledge about guided play, however, often leads to children growing up without opportunities to learn through play. Considering this, the authors analyze findings from the pilot phases of Play Every Day, an intervention based in urban communities in India, Mexico, and South Africa. This program is designed to shift the perceptions of care givers about play and its relationship to child development and to allow them to guide children in learning through play. The authors describe the program’s intent to contribute to global knowledge of best practices for promoting playful learning. They discuss developing a global framework and contextualizing its delivery to empower care givers as ambassadors of learning through play in young children’s lives. Key words: guided play; Play Every Day project; play in India; play in Mexico; play in South Africa; scaffolding play; Sesame Workshop It is well established that play is an integral component of early- childhood development . Research has shown that playful learning helps foster the development of young children and lay the foundations for them to become creative, engaged, lifelong learners. Thus, play constitutes an important part of a child’s daily routine, an often underused space in which valuable teaching and learning can take place (Brooker 2013, Kelly-Vance 2008).
