At Educational First Steps, we believe school readiness begins long before a child ever steps into a kindergarten classroom. Pouring with a Purpose brings together community leaders, partners, and advocates to explore how we can ensure every child in North Texas enters school ready to learn, grow, and thrive.

This gathering is more than a conversation, it’s a chance to connect, listen, and help drive meaningful progress in early childhood education. Join us for light bites, beverages, and an engaging discussion focused on building a brighter future for every child.

When: February 19, 2026 | 5:00–6:30 PM

Sensory bins are a great way for your littles to explore! It has many benefits like enhancing fine motor skills, supporting sensory regulation & exploration, and language development through hands on play!

It's very easy. Pick a theme, grab a bowl, find random things!

Make it hands on and show those kiddos that learning can be fun! Interactive is the way to go!

Stacking blocks on top of each other seems like a fairly unsophisticated game. But in fact, a stacking toy offers a surprisingly multifaceted list of benefits for your child. The reason is a stacking toy activates your child’s right brain and left brain simultaneously, training both your child’s creative, visual perception as well as your child’s analytical, problem-solving skills.
