We’re always happy to highlight wonderful professionals and resources like Acorn Therapy Solutions, which is part of The Center for Counseling & Wellness. Our friends and colleagues at Acorn Therapy Solutions provide pediatric OT and speech services. Their program is designed to help children build skills, confidence, and independence. ☀️

The CWLC incorporates the Choose Love curriculum into our SEL program. Through intentional lessons and meaningful experiences, our learners explore courage, gratitude, forgiveness, and compassion in action—skills that support emotional wellness, positive relationships, resilience, and a strong sense of community.
We look forward to planting these seeds throughout the year and watching them grow through conversations, projects, community experiences, and everyday moments of connection.

Get your classroom ready for the new school year with Choose Love posters, school supplies, and more! All proceeds benefit the Choose Love Movement.

☀️🌊 🦀What a beautiful day bringing together our children and families for a summer beach get-together!

From exploring along the shoreline and searching for crabs to swimming, playing, and spending time together, the day was filled with laughter, friendship, and connection. 🐚🌊We love creating opportunities for our children and families to stay connected throughout the summer—strengthening friendships, building community, and making special memories together.

At The Children’s Wellness Learning Collaborative, learning and wellness extend beyond the classroom. Sometimes the very best moments happen with sandy feet, salty air, and friends by your side. 💙☀️

Thank you to Mary Imbornone and Pam Rubinoff of URI’s East Farm for a wonderful tour and visit to East Farm. 🌿 As part of our planning for the upcoming program year at The Children’s Wellness Learning Collaborative, we are developing new relationships with local community partners. 🤝

We’re excited to begin collaborating with URI’s East Farm in order to bring even more hands-on, nature-based learning experiences to our community. From agriculture and sustainability to science, stewardship, and caring for the world around us, there are so many possibilities for learning beyond the classroom. 🌻🐝
