Process Art Tips and Tricks from a Former Teacher
I have always found a purpose in art. The creative process provides me with time to think and space to express my feelings; but it wasn’t always that way! Being a bit of a perfectionist, it was hard to let go of the “cookie-cutter” crafts. I wanted so badly to be good at art that […]

Road trip! Tips for Vacations with Children

Choosing the Best Toys for Your Child
by Lauren George, Family Support Specialist Children are explorers and inventors who learn by doing. I have the joy of seeing this play out every day at home with my little ones.

As our resident infant/toddler expert, our Lauren George talks the talk (but most, importantly, walks the walk). When she’s not busy corralling her active first-grader, she’s living the dream of toilet training her two-year old. WHEN’S THE BEST TIME TO TOILET TRAIN? There is not one “right” way or one “right” age to learn how […]
