⚾ Our HWCEC Night at the NWA Naturals didn’t go quite as planned, but we still had a great time!

After a rain delay on Saturday, we ended up with a bonus double-header on Sunday. The Naturals came away with a win against the Midland RockHounds before the weather stepped in once again and cut the day short. ⛈️

Thank you to the families who joined us, cheered through the rain, and made it such a fun day together! 👩‍👧‍👦

A HUGE thank you to the Northwest Arkansas Naturals, Mark & his team, for partnering with us to raise funds that directly support children and families at HWCEC.

Events like this help fuel our work at HWCEC — supporting high-quality early learning experiences that strengthen children, families, and our community.

🪴 Our garden is thriving! 🪴

As we turn the page from spring to summer, we’re reminded how much growth can happen in a season -- both in our garden and in our classrooms. Our littles have weathered storms, stretched toward the sun, and are blooming in their own beautiful ways. 🌻🌷🌼

Big thanks to Johanna Puff for caring for this special space!
