TRENDING ACROSS OUR DAY EARLY LEARNING CENTERS

Dressed to Impress

Have you seen the high-quality clothing our Day Early Learning Auxiliary made for our classroom baby dolls? Well, children all across our centers sure have! These new clothes have already been put to great use, and the children are grinning at the new-found wardrobe options. We are so thankful for all the great work by each of the Auxiliary members!

Modern Day Picassos

Our children had a blast getting a little messy and artsy during their painting project with the EHS AMP team. Their unique masterpiece will be displayed in the gross motor room and is sure to carry no shortage of fond memories with it.

Thank you to all our AMP teams for taking time out of their day to make special memories with children at our centers.

Summertime Crowd Safety

During the summer months, we often find ourselves at large gatherings, from outdoor concerts to the neighborhood barbecue. The downside to this sunny season is that under-preparation can sometimes lead to dangerous situations. Be sure to check out ApexBenefits article on 5 Tips to Stay Safe in a Crowd and elevate your summer experience to be the best it can be!
