Baking Together is Sweet! 🍪

The holidays are the perfect time to bring little helpers into the kitchen. Simple baking tasks are a fun way for kids to build fine motor skills while feeling proud of what they helped create.

Here are a few ways kids can help during cookie time:
1️⃣ Stir ingredients with a spoon
2️⃣ Spread flour on the surface to prep for dough
3️⃣ Use cookie cutters to press out shapes
4️⃣ Add sprinkles or toppings before baking

These small steps make kids feel involved, confident, and excited to enjoy the finished treat.

🌟 International Day of Persons with Disabilities 🌟

Today we honor children of all abilities and celebrate the strength, resilience, and potential that every child brings into the world. At Sunrise Children’s Foundation, we believe in creating environments where all children can learn, grow, and thrive with the support they deserve.

Many families in our programs are partners in developing IFSP, IEP, or 504 plans. These plans help shape meaningful goals for each child, and families play a powerful role in bringing those goals to life at home. Small, everyday moments can make a big difference.

Here are a few ways parents and caregivers can support learning at home and strengthen their voice as advocates:

💛 Create consistent routines that reinforce skills your child practices in school or during therapy
💛 Use simple visuals or schedules to help your child understand what comes next
💛 Celebrate progress, even the small steps, to build confidence and motivation
💛 Communicate regularly with your child’s teachers and support team to stay connected
💛 Ask questions, share observations, and speak up for what your child needs

When families and educators work together, children gain the strongest foundation for growth. Thank you to every parent, caregiver, and team member who supports inclusive learning and champions opportunities for every child.

🍴 The holiday season is the perfect time to slow down, spend time together, and make memories in the kitchen! ❤️

Did you know that children are more likely to try new foods when they help prepare them? Even small tasks can build confidence, curiosity, and healthy habits.

Here are a few fun ways your preschooler can get involved over the holidays:
🥔 Help mash potatoes or stir easy ingredients
🍎 Place apple slices or berries into a bowl for a recipe
🥕 Wash veggies in a bowl of water
🍪 Spread out flour on a surface for holiday cookies or pour ingredients into a bowl when baking
🧁 Add sprinkles or toppings to holiday treats

Little hands learn best by doing, and every moment in the kitchen can be a learning opportunity!

At Sunrise Children’s Foundation, we are committed to supporting healthy growth for every child. Through our Smart Start programs, children receive balanced meals and snacks throughout the day that include a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and other nutrient-rich options that fuel learning, play, and development.

We also recognize how important it is for families to have support at home, which is why we share helpful community resources like WIC. WIC offers nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and access to healthy foods for eligible families, helping parents build confident and consistent routines around meal planning and healthy choices.

Together, we can help children build lifelong habits that support wellness both in the classroom and at home.

📚 Happy Future Teachers of America Day! 🍎

At Sunrise Children’s Foundation, we are proud to celebrate the incredible educators who are growing in their careers and shaping bright futures, including teachers like Faith, who recently obtained her Child Development Associate (CDA) credential and continues to build confidence, skills, and opportunities in early childhood education.

When teachers hold a CDA, families benefit from stronger classroom experiences, more individualized support, and higher quality learning environments. SCF provides coaching and mentorship to help staff reach this milestone, and we are proud to support their professional growth every step of the way.

We will be sharing stories from teachers who explained how earning their CDA strengthened their teaching practice, opened new opportunities, and deepened their passion for early education. 💛

With the holidays around the corner, it’s the perfect time to try a simple and healthy side dish shared by one of our team members, Holly H. The Blond Cook's Garlic Roasted Asparagus recipe she found is easy to make, flavorful, and packed with nutrients!

“Asparagus is rich in vitamins and antioxidants, and garlic provides antimicrobial properties (and tastes good!),” says Holly.

This iron-rich, WIC-friendly recipe is a great way to balance out those holiday meals while adding more vegetables to your plate.
