Parenting Tip a Day for May! Mom! I'm bored! Parents, you don't have to fill every moment of your child's day. When we allow our kids to be bored, we're giving them space to imagine, explore, and grow.

Number sense is essential for math success, helping children understand how numbers work & interact. These skills support lifelong learning & problem-solving. Through our COEs & innovative programs, we prepare the next generation for 21st-century success!

Getting ready for Kindergarten is about more than ABCs and 123s. Do you know which skills matter most before the first day of school?  If you have a child starting Kindergarten this fall, watch to learn the social-emotional skills that help young children start school with confidence.

What does Championing Young Futures mean to you? For Dr. Melanie Johnson, President and CEO of Collaborative for Children, championing a future for a child is more than a minimal expectation; it is a requirement to provide all the necessary resources and skills for their betterment.

Collaborative for Children is at the forefront of early math education by ensuring that every Collab Kid in our Centers of Excellence achieves Texas pre-k guidelines and can count to 30 by memory.  It all starts with identifying numbers!  Try this with your Collab Kids!

Want a simple way to boost your child's brainpower? Turn up the classical music! Just 20 minutes of listening can spark changes in the brain that support learning and development. Whether it's Bach during playtime or Mozart before bed, music isn't just soothing; it's smart.

Helping too quickly can quietly take away chances for kids to build confidence. Those small moments of effort, even when they’re slow or messy, are where independence really grows. When we pause and let them try, we’re teaching them that they’re capable.

Parenting Tip a Day for May! Research shows that music fires up both sides of the brain, strengthens memory, sharpens focus, and improves pattern recognition, and these are skills that directly support math, reading, and problem‑solving.  

Parenting Tip a Day for May! It's easy to think our kids need more toys to stay entertained, but what they really need is more connection with the world around them. Nature, dirt, creativity, new experiences, plants, water, and yes, even boredom, are powerful tools for growth.

Parenting Tip a Day for May! When your child says, "Can I help?", say YES! They're not just offering their hands; they're offering their heart. Even if you have to redo the task later, the bond you create in that moment is worth it. Say yes!

For Trump, the timing mattered. With midterm elections approaching and approval ratings under pressure, the administration wanted headlines showing momentum, especially after years of tariff battles that disrupted global markets and supply chains. 😈

President Trump pardoned convicted #crypto criminal and #Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao after he invested billions of dollars into Trump’s World Liberty Financial venture. If that’s not pay to play, what is?

When we build more housing, as we are proposing to do in Kylemore, we need to provide schools for the children who will live there. Frustratingly, this is entirely out of our hands as councillors, and the Department of Education does not inspire confidence...

We can’t stand by and watch Donald Trump destroy our institutions, wreak havoc in our streets, and tank our economy. We must fight back and stand up for the families of Maryland – and for all Americans. In Congress, I will be your champion against the MAGA agenda.
