This week, families came together for Alta’s Incredible Years Early Childhood Parenting Group — a welcoming space for parents and caregivers of young children to learn practical strategies, share experiences and build stronger connections with their little ones. A great evening of learning, connecting & growing together! 💙

Through the group, families are exploring topics like:
🎈 Play is MORE than fun!
🌟 Everyone loves praise!
👂 Are my children listening?
💬 What can I do when they aren’t?
🎒 Preparing children for school success

And of course, there’s plenty of time to connect over free pizza for families and children! 🍕💙

The Incredible Years group continues through November 18, with seven sessions designed to support parents of children ages 3–8.

✨ Free sessions + child-sitting available if needed!

🗓️ Wednesdays | 5–7 PM
October 6 - November 18
📍 Alta Behavioral Healthcare

Welcome back to Lenny, Penny & Friends! Today, we’re learning all about Wolf’s School Rules and what it means to be safe, kind, and ready to learn at school! 💛🐺📚✨

Wolf has some great safety tips to share! When he has a BIG feeling, he uses his words and talks to a trusted adult.

He can say:
💛 “I feel sad because my friend was mean.”
💙 “I feel scared and miss my mommy.”
❤️ “I feel mad because I don’t want to stop playing.”

Using our words helps grown-ups understand how we feel and keeps us safe!

Wolf also reminds us that school rules help everyone stay safe—like:
👋 Keeping our hands and feet to ourselves
👂 Using our listening ears
👀 Using our looking eyes
🗣️ Using our words when we have big feelings

And of course, Wolf’s friends are here to show us how they put those safe school rules into action! 🌈✨

🎥 Press play and learn with Wolf! Because knowing our school rules helps make school a safe, happy place for everyone. 💛

✨ ALTA STAFF SPOTLIGHT: Meet Taylar Wilson! ✨

When it comes to keeping our Head Start kiddos safe, Taylar Wilson is always on the move!
Taylar has been part of the Alta Head Start family since 2019, starting as a Bus Aide, becoming a Bus Driver, and now serving as our Head Start Safety Officer for nearly three years. 🚌💛

One of her favorite teaching partners? Buster the Bus! Together, Taylar and Buster make learning about safety fun and memorable—from safely getting on and off the bus to crossing safely during pickups and drop-offs and even learning why we get extra quiet when crossing railroad tracks.

Through every role she’s held, Taylar helps make sure our children don’t just get where they’re going safely—they learn how to be safety-smart along the way! 🌟

We’re so grateful for Taylar and all she does to help keep our little learners safe! 💛
