✨ December Moments & New Traditions ✨

My heart is so full this December. Grateful for the new traditions we’re creating and for a community that continues to show up, support, and share in the holiday spirit. ❤️

A big shout-out to Corah’s Corner for opening their doors to our families and spoiling us with a delicious December breakfast. Your kindness made the morning truly special. 🥞🎄

Here’s to family, friends, and a community that always finds a way to come together. ✨

✨ Our families had the opportunity to join a parent education event all about Screens, Sleep, and Little Minds: Finding the Right Balance. We were grateful to learn from the talented Amanda Ensor with It Takes a Village, LLC, who shared such powerful and practical information.

📚 Families headed home with a new book, board games to enjoy together, and a yummy dinner to top off the evening. What a wonderful night of learning, connection, and community! 💛

Did you know…
“Just one extra hour of daily screen time is linked to less sleep, more tantrums, and lower attention spans in young children?”
“Toddlers learn 25-30% fewer words from screens than from real-life talking and playing-even from ‘Educational Shows’?”
“Young children take in twice as much from a 10-minute real-world play activity than from 30 minutes of screen time?”

Families, join us on Thursday, December 4th from 5:15-6:15 to take a deeper dive into Screens, Sleep, and Little Minds: Finding the Right Balance. Please RSVP using the link!

Topic: Screens, Sleep, and Little Minds: Finding the Right Balance Screens are part of everyday life—but balance is key! Join us for a fun, family-friendly session to explore healthy screen habits and simple ways to support better sleep, focus, language, and play. 📅 Date: Thursday, December 4th...
