Our April Kids Making Headlines is Jaeden!

Jaeden has been making great progress using regulation strategies, especially during movement based activities. He has been excited to engage in playing on the swings and trying out simple obstacle courses.

Out on the playground, Jaeden is showing more confidence climbing and swinging, and is doing an awesome job sharing and taking turns with peers.

Way to go, Jaeden!

Happy World Autism Awareness Day!

We wanted to take a moment to celebrate individuals on the autism spectrum. Let’s continue to move beyond awareness toward acceptance and inclusion. This means listening, learning, and creating spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and empowered to be themselves.

Join us in spreading understanding and kindness today and every day.

A stress-free way to improve your child’s sleep is to limit screens before bedtime. Bright light from TVs, tablets, and phones can make it harder for little ones to feel sleepy and settle down.

Try turning off screens at least 30 to 60 minutes before bed and replacing that time with calming activities like reading a book, listening to soft music, or talking about the day. This helps your child’s brain transition from playtime to rest time.

Did you know that March is Reading Awareness Month? 📚

Reading with your child is one of the simplest and most meaningful ways to connect while building language skills and a lifelong love of books. Just a few minutes of reading each day can make a big impact.

Three books we love (especially for bedtime) are Llama Llama Red Pajama, The Rainbow Fish, and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. These favorites encourage imagination, teach valuable lessons, and make storytime fun for little readers.
