What a night. What an impact!🌴🩴✨

The 21st Annual Flip Flops on the Boardwalk brought our community together for an unforgettable evening filled with energy, entertainment, and purpose. From live music by Les Greene & The Swayzees to interactive experiences, incredible food, and a high-spirited auction—every moment reflected the power of coming together for something bigger.

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.

A special thank you to our incredible Event Co-Chairs, Lauren Atlass, Rebecca Baughman, Kristi Quarles, & Jennifer Swercheck, for their leadership and vision.

We are deeply grateful to every guest who made this night so meaningful. We can’t wait to do it again next year! 💛💙

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! 💛

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 💛
