Families are always looking for something to do with their toddlers and preschool age children. Here are four of our fall favorites to find ways to promote developmentally appropriate activities within a child’s and family’s everyday life.
Listening, making sounds, singing songs, and exploring with music has a profound impact on a child’s development.
Wandaly’s children Novaly (20 months), and Malachi (5 months) are bright and happy, often getting outside to play in the park or explore their toys at home.

One family’s search for an extraordinary school for Drew ended at the PCCD Anderson School. “Drew is doing things beyond our dreams. He has cooking and art classes and does science experiments with the other students. He comes home with paint on his hands (just like our older son Dominic did at his age).
Do you and your child like to experiment with food recipes or fix something with nails, string, or glue? What about make a gift for a friend out of recycled objects.
