🎃 This Halloween, let’s keep in mind that every child experiences the world in their own unique way. Some may not say “trick or treat,” wear a costume, or take candy like others, and that’s perfectly okay. Let’s create an inclusive and compassionate space for all children to enjoy this special day. 💜💚🕸️

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month! 💚💜
This month, we shine a light on dyslexia, a common learning difference that affects how the brain processes written and spoken language. People with dyslexia are often creative thinkers, problem-solvers, and innovators who see the world in unique ways. By raising awareness and promoting understanding, we can help create more inclusive learning environments where everyone has the tools and support, they need to succeed. Together, we can celebrate the strengths of those with dyslexia and break down barriers to reading and learning! 📚✨
