Celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month 💙

This week, Elizabeth and I had the honor of participating in the 1K Walk at Morgan’s Wonderland, joining others in celebrating the incredible contributions of individuals with disabilities in the workforce.

We also hosted a table at the Texas Workforce job fair, where we connected with many inspiring candidates and we’re thrilled to welcome a lovely new team member to our Colonial Hills family!

Moments like these remind us why inclusion, opportunity, and community matter.

From Our Hearts to Kerrville
As a community rooted in care, we are holding the families of Kerrville, Texas close in our thoughts and prayers. The recent flooding has brought unimaginable loss, and our hearts ache for the children, families, and educators affected.

At our center, we believe in the power of compassion, connection, and collective strength. Tonight, we pause to honor those grieving, to uplift those still searching, and to support those working tirelessly in rescue and recovery.

🕊️ “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.” Isaiah 43:2

If you feel moved to help, here are a few trusted ways to support:
- Kerr County Flood Relief Fund
- American Red Cross

Let’s continue to teach our children what it means to care deeply for our neighbors, our communities, and our world. 💛

Understanding Strength in Early Childhood: "No weapon formed against me shall prosper"

In early childhood, children are like sponges absorbing everything around them. Sometimes, they face challenges like teasing, misunderstandings, or feelings of insecurity. But what does the phrase "No weapon formed against me shall prosper" really mean?

It’s a powerful reminder that no matter the obstacles or negative words we encounter, our inner strength, faith, and resilience can help us overcome them. For young children, teaching this resilience can foster confidence, self-love, and a sense of safety.

As caregivers and educators, let's nurture their spirit, encourage positivity, and remind them that they are protected and capable of overcoming life's challenges.

Together, we can help our children grow strong, confident, and resilient.
