Early Intervention

"There are only 2,000 days from the time a baby is born to when that child begins kindergarten.  During that time, 90% of critical brain development occurs.  Brains are built, not born.  The First  2000 Days.  Early investment a lifetime of results. "

More dollars need to be invested in Early Childhood to create more programs and to support the existing programs.  All children should have the same opportunity to grow into healthy productive citizens irregardless of their economical background.

A Touching Story

While having dinner with my family, my daughter was coughing due to having asthma.  My son, her six year old brother told her she needed to pray so God can heal her cough.  Suddenly, he placed both his hands together, bowed his head and softly ask God to heal his sisters cough.  This story really touched my heart and reminded me of the scripture in the Bible, Matthew 21:16 that says,"Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants you have perfected praise."

What I love about Chika Chika Boom Boom

Chika Chika Boom Boom is one of my most favorite children stories.  It was written by Bill Martin Jr. & John Archambault.  Illustrated by Lois Elhert.

This book is a very fun and interactive way to teach young children their alphabets through rhythm.  The pages are very colorful.
