The first day of school brings big feelings—for kids and parents. 💜

Whether your child is excited, nervous, or somewhere in between, take a few minutes to talk with them before and after school.

Ask questions like:
💛 What are you excited about?
💙 Is there anything you're worried about?
💚 What was the best part of your day?

Sometimes the greatest encouragement is simply knowing someone is listening.

We are so thankful for these educators that spent part of their summer break growing their practice in the area of mathematics. We also send a special thank you to The Orchard Foundation and Robin Iles for offering wonderful Professional Development opportunities.

We are proud of our dedicated Grant Early Childhood Network educators who spent their Saturday growing their practice!

Educators participated in an impactful Conscious Discipline training led by nationally certified trainer Jennifer Skrivanek. Through this learning experience, educators explored research-based practices and gained applicable strategies to bring back to their classrooms- focused on building strong classroom families, supporting children in identifying and managing emotions, and strengthening reasoning and problem-solving skills.

This work aligns with our commitment to supporting high quality early learning environments for all children.

Shout out to our educational partners: Grant Parish School Board, Dogwood Learning Academy, Grant Learning Center, and Cenla Christian Childcare Center-Po***ck!
