Our CEO, Tammey, is in Washington D.C. attending NAEYC’s 2026 Public Policy Forum advocating for high-quality early learning at the national level.

NAEYC’s Public Policy Forum brings together early childhood educators, advocates, affiliates, and emerging leaders from across the country to elevate their voices, deepen their policy knowledge, and engage directly with our nation's policymakers.

Last week, a group of our staff and board members stopped by the Indiana Statehouse to participate in the 2026 Indiana Early Childhood Education Day to help inform lawmakers of the importance of early learning and quality child care. We had the opportunity to speak with Representatives Klinker and Campbell about the key issues we are facing in providing early care and education.

Thank you to Indiana AEYC and the generous sponsors for making an impact with this day of advocacy!

When the weather outside is frightful, it's great to have community hubs where children can enjoy indoor fun!

Children at our Goodland center took a walking field trip to The Harvest Hangout where they had the opportunity to climb, jump, slide, and even slow down in the sensory room.

We recently invited our Right Steps – Central families to a Fall Family Party filled with process art, face painting, and family photos. In preparation for the celebration, each classroom selected a favorite book and created pumpkins inspired by it.

We are grateful for the creativity of our educators and the support of our engaged families who helped make this event a success!
