Because of you, we raised more than $525,000—making this our highest-grossing Flip Flops ever! 🎉

Your support fuels life-changing education and critical family services, helping children and families in our community build stronger, brighter futures.

Thank you to our Title Sponsor, The Galleria (Fort Lauderdale, Florida); Presenting Sponsor, The Daly Family; Premier Sponsor, Greenberg Traurig;and all of our generous sponsors and partners who made this event possible.

Tasty Tuesday was a success! 🍎👩‍🍳

As part of The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)’s Week of the Young Child, our entire village came together—educators, kitchen staff, and our Family Team—to create a hands-on, meaningful learning experience for our students.

From exploring healthy foods to learning through taste, touch, and teamwork, today was a powerful reminder that learning happens everywhere, and it takes all of us to make it possible.

Thank you to everyone who helped make today so special! đź’›

We’re celebrating The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)’s Week of the Young Child! 🎉

This week, our Early Education classrooms are joining a national movement led by NAEYC to highlight the importance of high-quality early childhood education.

Through hands-on activities like music, collaboration, and creative expression, our children are building critical skills that support lifelong learning.

Today we celebrated Music Monday! 🎶

Our little learners explored rhythm, movement, and sound - building language skills, coordination, and confidence through music.

Learning through play isn’t just fun—it’s foundational.

Take a look at the joy in action đź’›

Last month, both Jack & Jill Center’s Early Education classes and Madelaine Halmos Academy’s elementary school students joined millions of children and volunteers around the world for Jumpstart’s Read for the Record®, the largest shared reading experience dedicated to promoting early literacy.

This year’s featured book, “See Marcus Grow” by Marcus Bridgewater (known to many as Garden Marcus) shares the story of a young boy learning important lessons in his grandmother’s garden. Through curiosity, care, and discovery, Marcus learns that both plants and children need water, sunshine, nurturing, and space to grow.

We were grateful to welcome volunteers from Enterprise Mobility, who spent the morning reading with our students and helping them participate in a fun, hands-on gardening activity. Together, they planted seeds and connected the story’s themes of growth and care to real-life learning.

Experiences like Read for the Record help spark a love of reading while building foundational literacy skills and expanding children’s home libraries.

Thank you to our volunteers and partners who help make moments like this possible for our students every day. 🌱📖

📚✨ Read Across America Week at Jack & Jill Center was full of imagination, creativity, and fun!

Our students in Classroom 120 welcomed guest readers who brought stories to life with props, music, costumes, and interactive activities.

From marching through the classroom during "The Girl with a Mind for Math" - to decorating cupcakes after reading "Cupcake" - to becoming animal detectives during "I Spy Animals", our students experienced storytelling in exciting and memorable ways.

We even wrapped up the week with a Mardi Gras–themed literacy celebration complete with classroom parades, music, and colorful decorations!

A huge thank you to all of our wonderful staff volunteers who helped spark a love of reading for our young learners. ❤️
