The Early Learning Coalition of Palm Beach County is happy to announce that School Readiness Funding is currently available for eligible children.
School Readiness: Florida’s School Readiness Program or SR offers financial assistance to eligible low-income families for early education and care so they can become financially self-sufficient and their young children can be successful in school in the future.

Both open-ended and closed-ended activities are essential for the development of two-year-olds, as they target different skills and encourage balanced growth. This types of play help toddlers build confidence, explore their world, and develop critical early learning skills.
Encouraging a baby’s physical development in free spaces and nature is a wonderful way to support their growth! . By integrating nature and physical play, you’re helping the baby build strength, coordination, and an early appreciation for the world around them. 🌷☘️🌿
