🦃 Happy Thanksgiving from our little turkeys at the HCDC! 🦃

Our classrooms were full of festive fun this week—turkey hats, Thanksgiving-themed sensory bins, cooking and plenty of smiles from our littlest learners! 🧡

We love creating moments that make learning joyful—and if this looks like the kind of place you’d love to be, we’re hiring full and part-time Assistant Teachers as well as one Lead Teacher for our 3/4 year old room! 🌟

Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) are the backbone of community living for people with disabilities—but they need our help.

Right now, Congress is considering the Recognizing the Role of Direct Support Professionals Act, which would officially recognize DSPs as a distinct occupation.

This change could help improve wages, reduce turnover, and strengthen services for thousands of Iowans!

✅ Take action today! Tell your members of Congress to support this bipartisan bill. Click here to send your message: https://www.ancor.org/actions/tell-congress-to-cosponsor-the-recognizing-the-role-of-dsps-act/

Together, we can make sure DSPs get the recognition they deserve—and the people we serve get the support they need.
