Imagination Station in Troy took advantage of the beautiful weather and went on a bug hunt, literacy style. Children searched across the playground for insect cards showing a real photograph and insect name, then individually wrote a list of the ones they found.

Today we celebrated Robin Short, our Support Services Coordinator, as she begins her well-earned retirement after 32 years, 6 months, and 6 days of dedicated service to our agency.

Robin's passion, commitment, and unwavering dedication to serving children, families, and staff have made a lasting impact throughout her career. Her kindness, leadership, and years of service will be greatly missed by all who have had the privilege of working alongside her.

We wish Robin many happy and fulfilling years ahead as she begins this new chapter. Enjoy your retirement, Robin! Congratulations and thank you for your incredible service! 🎉💙

Imagination Station class in Troy had special guests Ms. Gayle & Ms. Elly from Traveling Smiles visit our class to learn more about dental health. Kids got to see a tooth model, learned how to floss and brush to get the cleanest teeth, and reviewed what foods are helpful or hurtful for our teeth. Then we helped Ms. Gayle & Ms. Elly brush the big teeth for 2 minutes as we sang the ABCs twice!
