This week’s book pick is The Color Monster by Anna Llenas, a bright and playful story that helps children connect feelings with colors.

After reading, try asking: “What color is your feeling today?” It’s a simple way to help children name emotions, talk about worries and begin building the language they need to express themselves.

Big play, big feelings and busy little bodies can make bedtime feel like a mountain to climb. Try a gentle wind-down routine: dim the lights, choose a quiet book, use the same few bedtime steps each night and give a calm countdown before lights out.

Predictable routines help children know what comes next, and that can make bedtime feel a little more peaceful for everyone. Sweet dreams, little learners!

Nothing beats donuts with Dad!

We had a wonderful time celebrating Father's Day with our special "Donuts with Dads" event. Thank you to all the dads, grandfathers, uncles, and the incredible men who play such an important role in the lives of our children.

Happy Father's Day to all the amazing father figures who help our little learners grow with love, encouragement, and support. We appreciate you today and every day!
