For preschoolers and kindergarteners, some of the most important heroes they’ll ever meet live in their own communities. They’re called Community Helpers, and they just might inspire your child to be a better person and citizen. As a parent, make sure to point out Community Helpers when you and your children come in contact with them.
Our Creatively Shine Curriculum™ theme this month is “Community Helpers”. Community Helper activities help encourage children to think about and appreciate all of the people in their community who work to keep them safe, healthy, well-fed and educated.

One of the most exhausting battles parents fight is the one over sleep. To make things worse, the middle of the night or the end of a long day isn’t the time we want to think strategically about how to overcome a conflict with a toddler. And after days and days of sleepless nights, no amount of caffeine during the day will help, either.
