This is the last month of the school year, and I’d like to thank everyone who signed up for Parents as Teachers! It’s been a pleasure getting to know everyone.

Children Are the Most Important Work 💛

This beautiful quote reminds us of something we sometimes forget in the hustle of daily life — children are not a distraction from more important work; they are the most important work.

In the early years, the legacy we build isn’t about milestones we hit or tasks we check off. It’s about the connections we foster, the safety we provide, and the love we offer that lets children feel safe, seen, and loved.

Let’s continue to raise children in environments where play is purposeful, where learning is led by curiosity, and where their social-emotional well-being is just as valued as their academic growth.

Because play-based learning isn’t just joyful — it’s essential. Because early childhood development doesn’t wait. Because being present is the most powerful legacy we can offer.

Did you know that children aren't ready to brush their teeth effectively on their own until they can be able to write their own names? This is because thorough brushing requires motor maturity, as well as cognitive and linguistic developments.

Check out the Parents as Teachers program! We partner with families to build skills, share resources, and empower parents to be their child's first and best teacher. 🌟
