Last week, volunteers from USI Insurance Services created a meaningful gift for our Therapeutic Preschool Program by crafting 50 hands-on transportation activity boards! 🚂✈️🚌
 
These kits will help children develop fine motor skills and practice independent play while exploring different modes of transportation and the community helpers who make them go.
 
Thank you, USI Insurance Services, for investing in our mission and providing this incredible resource for our Therapeutic Preschool Specialists! 💛

It's okay to ask for help.

Our CEO Rebecca Dutson shared this important message on Jon Spiesman's Untold podcast, and we couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity to reach more families with this truth.

If you're struggling with your child's behavior, feeling overwhelmed as a parent, or worried about your little one's development—you are not alone. Our compassionate team is here to help strengthen the bond between you and your child, reduce stress, and support your family's wellbeing.

When we talk openly about these topics, we break down barriers and help more families access the care they need.

Listen to Rebecca's full interview to learn more about our evidence-based, trauma-informed approach to supporting families.
