We are closed! Stay safe, warm, and regulated!

---- > 5 Snow Day Tips for Kids & Families

1. Keep a simple routine: Anchor the day with familiar meals, movement, and rest times to support regulation.

2. Build movement breaks: Indoor obstacle courses, yoga stretches, wall pushes, or dance breaks help burn energy and reset bodies.

3. Create a cozy regulation spaces: Blankets, pillows, dim lights, books, fidgets, or calming music can support downtime and emotional regulation.

4. Offer choice-based activities: Let kids choose between two or three options (art, building, games, sensory play) to support autonomy and reduce power struggles.

5. Balance screen time with connection: Screens are okay—pair them with shared activities like cooking, games, or reading together to keep connection strong

Hey mamas!

Just a friendly reminder not to forget your tickets for this year's My Guy & I fundraiser dance-we seriously can't wait to SEA you there!

We heard your feedback loud and clear, and we've made a change. This year's dance will run from 6-8 PM instead of 7-9, so your littles can still get their groove on and make it home for bedtime.

It's still our beloved glow party, but with a splash of something new-we're diving under the sea this time! Think glowing jellyfish, ocean vibes, and plenty of fun for you and your favorite guy.

Also, a big thank you to @.therapyandwellness for joining us again! They'll be on-site with sensory supports and a safe space to unwind if anyone needs a break from the excitement.

Grab those tickets, mark your calendars, and get ready to make some magical memories. Link to register: https://richlandareacc.wufoo.com/forms/z1iy5otw0e25rfv/
