🌟 Open to both current Early Foundations families and the community
🌟 Every other Thursday from 11:30 AM–12:15 PM

A calm environment, meaningful play, and genuine connection can make all the difference during an evaluation!✨

Our assessments are designed to help children feel comfortable enough to engage naturally while we identify strengths, challenges, and next steps.

Play-based and child-centered from the very beginning, helping families gain clarity and support every step of the way 🤍

Tiny bites, big wins 🤍

Building confidence with new foods one smile (and one crumb) at a time. Around here, we celebrate curiosity, progress, and all the little moments that lead to big growth!

Feeding therapy doesn’t have to feel hard. It can look like this 🤍

Early Foundations Speech and Feeding Services is growing again (which is exciting!) and we’re officially on the lookout for a new home!

We love our little space at Love Your Neighbor, but we’re getting a bit too cozy in there. We’re hoping to find something in Hudsonville (or very close by), preferably in a medical office type building, but we’re open to other setups too.

Wishlist:
• 3–4 treatment rooms
• Waiting/reception area
• Bathroom
• Little kitchen/break space
• Bonus points for a bigger room for extra play space

We’re also open to partnering with another like-minded business to share common space if it’s a good match.

If you hear of anything coming up or know someone who might, send them my way! Thanks for keeping an eye out! ❤️
