🫐 **Blueberry Picking Fun with CHILD, Inc.!** 🫐

Our Home Based Program enjoyed a wonderful day at Rocky Point Blueberry Farm, where our children and families had the opportunity to pick their own fresh blueberries! 💙

Experiences like this turn everyday adventures into opportunities for learning, exploring, and spending quality time together as a family. Our little ones had so much fun searching for the perfect blueberries, filling their containers, and learning a little more about where our food comes from along the way. 🫐🌿

At CHILD, Inc., our Home Based Program is about so much more than learning at home. We love giving families opportunities to explore their community, create memories, and learn together through hands-on experiences.

A big thank you to Rocky Point Blueberry Farm for helping make such a sweet summer outing possible! ☀️🫐

🍕🌿 Pizza Friday was extra special at CHILD, Inc.!

Our children enjoyed delicious pizza topped with fresh basil harvested from our very own garden. After spending time planting, watering, and caring for the basil, they were excited to reap the rewards of their hard work and taste what they helped grow.

There's nothing better than learning, growing, and enjoying the fruits (and herbs!) of your labor. 💚
