ChildStrive

The possibilities of every child keep us doing what we do every day!

Today we celebrate all of the dads, grandpas, and father figures in our community, and recognize the important role they play in our lives. Happy Father's Day!

Today, we recognize Juneteenth, a day of remembrance, reflection, and celebration marking the end of slavery in the United States. It is also an opportunity to learn about our nation's history and the ongoing work of building a more just and equitable future.

For families looking to learn together, explore resources and activities for children at care.com/c/juneteenth-for-kids.

Parents are their child’s first and most important teacher. 💛 ChildStrive’s Parents as Teachers program partners with families through personalized in-home visits that support child development, school readiness, and family well-being.

Through play, learning activities, developmental guidance, and connections to community resources, our Educators help parents build confidence and strengthen the bonds that help children thrive. Because when families are supported, children are too.
