Some added options coming to the BABY AND ME class schedule this season!

To clarify, this is just an added option based on requests for less days per week and midday or evening for working parents.

If you prefer a different time, you can sign up during normal group slots for the 5 day a week class, for two weeks. The price is different as well. Keep in mind, if you and your baby are the only one signed up for a session time, it may be cancelled or moved to another time with more participants.

Today, we celebrate 61 years of Head Start!

Since 1965, this program has helped millions of children and families build stronger futures. It supports early learning, strengthens communities, and creates opportunity across the country.

This milestone reflects the impact of generations of families, educators, and communities who have made Head Start what it is today.

A new report confirms what families across the country already know: child care is unaffordable everywhere in the United States.

Parents are stretching budgets past the breaking point just to access care so they can work, attend school and support their families. Meanwhile, early educators remain underpaid for the essential work they do.

When child care costs more than families can reasonably afford, everyone feels the impact, especially babies and toddlers during the most important years of development.

We need bold investments in affordable, high-quality child care and stronger support systems for families nationwide. Read the article: https://bit.ly/4tyeYOA

🌸 Early Learning Health Expo Success! 🌸

Know N Grow, in partnership with Molina Healthcare, was proud to host our Spring Health Expo focused on connecting families in our rural community with vital health and wellness resources.

Our goal is to continue partnering with local agencies and community outreach programs to ensure families stay connected to the support and services they need. Access to medical care and community resources is incredibly important to us, and we are grateful for everyone who helped make this event meaningful and impactful.

A special thank you to Dr. Becca and the Molina Mobile Bus team, who were able to provide services to 11 individuals — both children and adults — during the event. Molina Healthcare offers a variety of services including preventive care, wellness checks, health education, care coordination, and support connecting families to healthcare resources.

We also want to thank all 15 of our amazing vendors and organizations who attended and shared valuable resources with our families:
• South Bend Police Department
• Legacy Food Bank
• South Bend Early Learning Center
• ESIT/Birth to Three
• Ruby Consulting
• Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA)
• WIC
• ABC Dental
• Pacific County Health Department
• Community Action
• Timberland Regional Library
• Early Steps to School Success
• Willapa Harbor Hospital

And a HUGE thank you to Snoddy’s Burgers for grilling up delicious burgers and tots for everyone to enjoy! 🍔✨

The main focus of this expo was helping families establish effective healthcare connections while increasing awareness of the many local resources available in our community. We are grateful for the support, partnerships, and participation that made this event such a success!
