For today's Make-it-Monday, we have the balls in a bowl activity! This is the perfect activity for those aged 5 1/2- 8 months. All you need is a bowl and a few different types of balls. Encourage your child to grab the bowl and experiment with how the balls roll - this is great for their fine motor development. Ask questions and talk about what your child is doing during this activity - this will help them learn new language. Most importantly, have fun exploring with your child! 🥰

Don't forget that you are your child's first and most important teacher!

🌿👣 Little Feet, Big Discoveries 👣🌿
Nature is the perfect playground for growing minds! For children ages 0–3, outdoor exploration helps build curiosity, confidence, and connection.
🍃 Collect leaves
🐜 Watch bugs crawl
🪵 Balance on a log
☀️ Feel the sun and breeze

Even the tiniest adventures spark sensory development, language skills, and emotional regulation — all while having fun!

At the Family Enrichment Program, we encourage families to explore, connect, and grow! This is why we love hosting group connections for our enrolled families!

For today's Make-it-Monday, we have fingerpainting! All you need is some paper, paint, and your hands! Encourage your child to smear the paint around the page and point out what colors they make. This is the perfect activity to practice fine motor skills and experiment with colors and textures 🎨

🧠💖 Safety & Routines = Emotional Well-Being 💖🧠
Children thrive when they feel safe, seen, and secure — and routines help make that happen.

🛁 Bedtime baths, 🍽️ family meals, and 📚 story time aren’t just daily tasks — they’re emotional anchors that build trust, reduce anxiety, and support healthy brain development.
✅ Consistent routines
✅ Safe environments
✅ Predictable love

These small daily moments add up to BIG emotional growth. 💪👶
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Looking for ways to create calm and connection at home? Join us at the Family Enrichment Program — where we support families through personal home visits. These promote early development, learning, and health of children by supporting and engaging their parents and caregivers. 💚

For today's Make-it-Monday, we have an activity for a child 14-24 months! You'll need any empty container and create a slot in the top, wide enough for your chips. Encourage and show your child how to put the chips in the can. This activity is perfect for hand-eye coordination and fine motor development. Next time you have an empty oatmeal container, give this a try!

Don't forget that YOU are your child's first and most important teacher! 💚
