As the school year comes to a close, we would like to share summer activities and resources for our families. We understand that summer is, at times, not as stress free as we would like it to be. We know that families and caregivers have to think about how to keep their children busy, plan for child care, and balance work schedules. Please enjoy your summer and take some time to recharge and take care of yourself!
