This Music Monday, we’re celebrating fun and easy ways to include children in music.

Music is a wonderful way for young children to move, express themselves, and release those extra wiggles. It can be calming, energizing, and even therapeutic while helping children build rhythm and coordination.

At Sunrise Children’s Foundation, we love providing instruments like age-appropriate drums so children can play along with the beat and explore music in a hands-on way.

You can bring the fun home, too. Everyday items like pots and pans can easily become drums. Turn on an age-appropriate song, encourage your child to tap along, feel the rhythm, and enjoy making music together.

Feel the beat and have fun.

Healthy meals help build strong foundations for learning and growth. 🍎

The USDA’s Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) plays an important role in bringing nutritious meals and snacks to children in care centers, homes, and afterschool programs.

Through the National CACFP Association, childcare providers receive reimbursement for serving balanced, healthy meals that support children’s development while reassuring families that nutritional needs are being met each day. In Nevada alone, CACFP providers served millions of meals and snacks in 2025, helping ensure children have access to the nourishment they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

Programs like CACFP help address food insecurity and expand access to healthy foods, especially for families and communities who may face barriers to affordable nutrition.

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive in supportive and inclusive environments.

At Sunrise Children’s Foundation, we believe early identification and individualized support help ensure children receive the resources they need to be successful both in the classroom and beyond. Some children may benefit from individualized plans such as an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP), an Individualized Education Program (IEP), or a 504 Plan, which provide services, supports, and accommodations tailored to each child’s unique needs.

Our team works alongside families to help navigate these processes, connect caregivers with resources, and empower them to become strong advocates for their children. Through collaboration and guidance, we help families better understand available supports and feel confident in supporting their child’s development and learning journey.

By fostering inclusive learning spaces and meeting children where they are, we help build confidence, encourage growth, and create communities where all children feel valued, supported, and empowered.

Looking for a fun, comforting meal that also supports healthy habits? 🥦🍝

Balanced meals that include vegetables and mindful sodium choices can help support overall wellness and growing bodies. Recipes like Broccoli Pasta, also known as “Monster Mac,” put a playful twist on a family favorite while adding nutritious ingredients.

1️⃣ Broccoli and spinach provide fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants that support overall health
2️⃣ Reduced-sodium broth helps limit excess salt while keeping meals flavorful
3️⃣ Milk and cheese add calcium and protein to support growth and development

This recipe is also a great way to involve little ones in the kitchen. Children can help by:
👩‍🍳 Pulling broccoli florets apart into small pieces
🧀 Sprinkling cheese on top
🥄 Stirring ingredients with supervision
🥬 Helping add spinach to the pot

Cooking together helps children build confidence, try new foods, and develop healthy habits that can last a lifetime.

The time change can be tough on little sleepers and their families. ⏰💤

Adjusting to daylight saving time can take a few days, especially for young children. Focusing on healthy sleep routines can help kids transition more smoothly and feel rested for learning and play.

Here are a few simple ways to help children adjust:
• Keep consistent bedtimes and wake-up times, even on weekends
• Create a calming bedtime routine like reading or quiet play
• Limit screen time before bed to help bodies wind down
• Get plenty of daytime movement and natural light
• Be patient as children adjust. Small changes can take time

Quality sleep supports children’s growth, learning, mood, and overall well-being. With consistency and support, families can help children settle into healthy routines and start each day ready to learn.

Maria Montessori’s work continues to shape early childhood education and how we support young learners today.

An Italian physician and educator, Montessori transformed early learning by emphasizing exploration, independence, and hands-on experiences. Her child-centered approach encouraged educators to respect each child’s unique pace of development while creating supportive and engaging learning environments.

Many practices used in early learning classrooms today, including play-based learning and choice-driven activities, reflect principles inspired by Montessori’s work. Her legacy continues to help children build confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.

Nevada Reading Week was a joyful celebration of stories, imagination, and learning. Children and educators came together to explore books, build early literacy skills, and share the excitement that reading brings.

One of the featured stories was The Cat in the Hat. After reading together, our Infant and Toddler classrooms got creative by making their own special hats inspired by the story, infant and toddler style. These hands-on activities help bring books to life while encouraging creativity, fine motor development, and early language skills.

Throughout the week, children participated in reading and reading-themed activities that made learning engaging while strengthening comprehension and imagination. These early literacy experiences help lay the foundation for future academic success and lifelong learning.

At Sunrise Children’s Foundation, we are committed to nurturing a love of reading every day through meaningful classroom experiences that help children grow into confident learners.

Thank you to our educators who helped make Nevada Reading Week a great success. Together, we are building brighter futures, one story at a time.

Did you know hearing and vision screenings play an important role in early learning success? 👂👁️

Early screenings can help identify concerns before they impact a child’s development, communication, and classroom experience.

Thanks to our amazing community partners like UNLV Dental, Liberty Dental Plan, Pearle Vision, Lions Club, Hope Christian Health Center, Pro-Health Wellness Group, and Solutions of Change, families are able to receive free vision, hearing, dental, and wellness screenings all in one place, such as during our Moving Up Celebration at the beginning of the year.

When children receive support early, families and educators can work together to provide the right resources, accommodations, and services that help children build confidence and fully engage in learning and play.

Routine screenings help ensure children can hear, see, connect, and thrive as they grow, creating a strong foundation for lifelong learning and well-being.

Strong bodies and healthy habits play an important role in early childhood development. 💪

Physical Development and Health is one of the key early childhood learning domains. It focuses on how children grow, move, and learn to care for their overall well-being, including gross and fine motor skills, nutrition, healthy routines, and safe environments that support everyday learning.

At SCF, we create active, engaging learning spaces where children can move, explore, and build coordination through age-appropriate play. Children enjoy slides, playhouses, age-appropriate plastic balls, and plenty of room to run and roam, all designed to encourage movement and exploration in a safe environment.

Our educators intentionally plan activities that strengthen muscles, encourage healthy habits, and promote wellness through movement, nutrition education, and safe practices.

By supporting physical development early, we help children build strength, confidence, and lifelong habits that support success in school and beyond.
