⚾ 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.
Good news: If you purchased tickets, they’re fully exchangeable for another game this season (as availability allows)! 🎟️

1,000 books read before Kindergarten, a strong start for a lifetime of learning 📚✨
At HWCEC, we believe in nurturing curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning from the very beginning and this milestone is a beautiful reflection of that work in action.
We celebrated with a Book Bash full of cozy PJs, proud smiles, and a new Pete the Cat book for every child 📖

🪴 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!
