Happy Earth Day (yesterday)! 🌎

Yesterday, Preschool 1 celebrated by creating a fun and tasty snack—using grapes and blueberries to make their very own “Earths!” Along the way, they talked about simple but important ways to keep our planet happy and clean, like turning off lights and water when we’re not using them and picking up trash when we see it. Such a sweet (and delicious) way to learn about caring for our world!

We’re currently looking for recommendations! We’ve reached out to several companies so far but haven’t had any luck.

Why are pinwheels used as the national symbol of child abuse prevention?

The center, the blades and the spinning motion all represent how children are safer when communities, systems and policies align around families to prevent child abuse and neglect before it occurs.
