Last week, our annual Night at the Museum brought creativity to life with an exciting “I Spy” theme! Our Early Head Start, Head Start, and Healthy Families programs showcased incredible, eye-catching artwork inspired by imagination, discovery, and play.
Through creating their pieces, children explored textures, colors, and shapes—supporting their sensory development while letting their creativity shine. 🖌️🌈
Families were invited to experience it all in a special museum-style expo, where our young artists proudly displayed their work. The smiles, curiosity, and pride on their faces said it all! 💛
We are so proud of each and every child for their talent, creativity, and willingness to explore. Thank you to our families and staff who made this unforgettable evening possible!

✨ Family Fun Day is just 3 weeks away! ✨

Last month, ClackCoKids came together for our annual Wellness Day at the park 💚
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we took time to rewind, reset, and reconnect as a team. From a lively plant swap 🌱 and karaoke 🎤 to kickball, poker walk ♠️, and more—there was something for everyone to enjoy!
We also celebrated our incredible team as the Shining Stars Committee recognized this year’s Shining Stars ✨
A heartfelt thank you to our amazing staff for the difference you make in the lives of children and families every single day. And special thanks to program parent, Krista, for capturing the day through her beautiful photos 📸, and Tony from Woodburn Construction for the drone shot of our team!

We were proud to celebrate the groundbreaking of our new Meadowlark Early Learning Center in Gladstone this month! 🎉
In partnership with Woodburn Construction, JTRA Studio, Tello Interiors, and GreenWorks, PC ClackCoKids will soon expand access to early learning with five new classrooms serving local families.
A heartfelt thank you to Congresswoman Janelle Bynum, Rep. Annessa Hartman, Sen. Mark Meek, Mayor Michael Milch, and the The City of Gladstone for helping make this vision a reality.
Investing in early childhood education is an investment in our community—and we’re just getting started. Stay tuned for updates as we look ahead to opening this fall! ✨

🌼🐞 Take a look inside one of our center-based programs! This class had a wonderful time exploring the world of ladybugs. The children loved observing them in their habitat and were so excited to release them outdoors. Each child even had the chance to gently hold a ladybug if they chose to, making it a fun, hands-on, and memorable experience for everyone. 💛🌿
