Families in Wisconsin! Please, act now!Also, employers, and people with coworkers in Wisconsin - child care programs will lose significant funding unless the Child Care Counts payment program continues. If the program doesn’t continue, many centers will close and centers that stay open may need to raise their rates significantly. Please take *two minutes* to sign this letter (and if you have time, take two more and personalize it with your story about how a loss of child care would affect you or your workplace).
Thank you!

Child Care Counts is in danger of not being continued and funded in the 2023-25 state budget. Help keep our momentum going to ensure this vital program remains a state budget priority and receives significant funding. There is no time to waste – act NOW!

What a watery adventure morning!

We suited up and headed out into the showers to splash through puddles and see how water flows through our neighborhood. Along curbs, across specially designed road features, into storm drains, through underground tunnels, and out again at Saunders Creek.

We love singing this song as we think about the waters flowing down to the sea: https://open.spotify.com/track/61LsvwD5FlmBCoJUCLLTjh?si=W04oCuS1TlG9_t629UXatg&dl_branch=1
