Our Harbor Homes Early Explorers had a wild day at the Erie Zoo! 🦏🐒💚

The kids spent the day spotting animals, exploring the zoo, and taking a ride on the train. From up-close animal encounters to big smiles along the way, it was a fun-filled adventure with plenty to see and discover!

We love giving our Early Explorers opportunities to learn, explore, and make memories together outside the classroom. 💙💚

Only FIVE days until Erie Gives! 💙💚

💙💚 This week’s Teacher Shoutout celebrates Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Jen at our North East Center!

Amber H. has seen Alayna thrive and learn so many new skills because of the endless love and dedication these two incredible teachers bring to their classroom each day.

Amber, thank you for sharing such meaningful words! Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Jen, thank you for helping the children in your care feel supported, encouraged, and excited to grow. 💙💚

Early Connections was proud to join the Academy Neighborhood Association for its annual National Night Out celebration at Baker Field! 💙💚

Casey Rapoza, our Director of Employee Engagement, and Jordan Ott, our Director of Advancement, spent the evening connecting with local families and sharing information about our early childhood programs, current enrollment opportunities, community resources, and available jobs. Children who visited our table also enjoyed bubbles and coloring activities!

The evening featured ice cream, food, games, community organizations, and plenty of family fun. Thank you to the Academy Neighborhood Association for inviting us - and to everyone who stopped by our table! We loved spending the evening with our Erie community.

A trip to Paris - without leaving Union City!🗼

Our school-age children put their creativity and building skills to the test by constructing their own Eiffel Towers out of wafer cookies. It was the perfect combination of hands-on learning, summer fun and a sweet treat! 💙💚
