Next Friday, August 7 at 11:30 AM, don't miss THE DAY YOU BEGIN on PBS KIDS!

Based on the New York Times bestselling picture book of the same name by Jacqueline Woodson, the 2D-animated special follows kindergartners Angelina, Rigoberto, Minjin and Andre on their first day of school, and is told from each of their points of view.

They each have different experiences in the same classroom, and throughout the course of the day at school, the kids learn what makes them unique and what connects them to others.

As the Summer begins to wind down and we get into back-to-school mode, here are some photos from our team's visit to the Gulf Coast Summer Symposium this past June down in Gulf Shores!

The conference is meant to inspire, challenge, and elevate early childhood professionals, and we had a wonderful time presenting!

Helping young children feel safe and learn to cope is a crucial part of early childcare. This training will equip us with skills to understand the stress, adversity or trauma that families may face.

We will discuss best practices for how to support young children and their families to foster resilience using helpful resources from Sesame Workshop.

Thriving Together This is a free training from Alabama Public Television. It is approximately two hours in length and can be held online or in-person at your workplace.

Here's everything you need to teach the American Revolution, from classroom-ready resources to bite-sized summaries of key events and figures!
