Did someone say pancake party? 🥞🐷 This week at our Play & Learn we practiced fine motor skills through a pancake craft, sharpened shape recognition with a pancake spatula game, and explored early math using Young Mathematician’s Hungry Numbers — pig-themed for extra giggles! So much fun and so much learning packed into one session. What fun theme do you want to see next? Share below!

To the parents and caregivers feeling stretched thin.
To the early childhood professionals carrying so much.
Thank you for being there for babies and toddlers.

It’s okay to be overwhelmed.
It’s okay to need a moment.
Your care matters, and so do you.
You're not alone.
