A recent American Psychological Association article titled "The serious business of play" outlines how the pandemic provides a huge opportunity to use play to promote healthy development. Here are some key takeaways: 1. While parents and caregivers often feel pressured to plan structured activities to keep children engaged, there's actually empirical evidence that suggests unstructured play (defined as "play that isn't organized or directed by adults...and that generally d...oesn't have a defined purpose or outcome") is critical for healthy development 2. Grownups should take part in unstructured play with children, to develop a strong relationship, and help manage anxiety 3. Sit back and let the kids take the lead!

1 in 8 American women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime, which is why we raise awareness for this disease over the course of October. The childcare industry is largely women-dominated, meaning that many of our providers are either at risk of breast cancer or have been already diagnosed at some point in their lives. This month we support our survivors, raise awareness about the disease, and advocate for preventative safety measures we can take (such as getting yearly mammograms). Make sure to wear your pink ribbon this month!
