When the air outside starts to get crisper, the temperature drops and you feel the urge to reach for a sweater, do you automatically start to worry about catching cold? Now that you have a child, do you warn him or her that they could get sick if they spend too much time exposed to [...]
Music plays an important role in our culture. It’s ingrained in nearly every aspect of our lives. It’s rare that we go a day without hearing music, singing music or at least humming a familiar tune. From birth, parents use music to soothe children, express love and joy and simply engage and interact with their [...]
Your child’s chance of living a healthy, successful life depends a great deal on what you do for him or her in the first five years. The stress of that responsibility can take a toll on parents and it’s no wonder. You get advice from every angle! However, here’s one simple thing you can do [...]
Summer is right around the corner! Bring on the beach trips, sprinklers, slip and slides and trips to the pool! When I think of summer I think of freedom. As a child of the mid-80s I spent my summers exploring my neighborhood on my bike with the only instructions from my mom being “come home [...]
Understanding the needs of a baby or toddler can be frustrating and seemingly impossible. It’s a guessing game and sometimes we just can’t get it right.

Everyone seems to agree that overprotective parenting is obnoxious. Even most psychologists agree that it is probably not good for children.

What Parents are Saying about Our Schools
I appreciate the awesome care that you all provide……
I just wanted to take some time out of my afternoon to let you know how much I appreciate the awesome care that you all provide. School for Amazing Kids, Calera staff is the best in my family’s eyes. B***** has been enrolled for 3 years since we moved to Calera, and we have always had a positive experience. He has learned so much! He enjoys school, which is the best feeling for a mother who has to work outside of the home. Both he and M******* have formed bonds that can never be broken!
I just wanted you to know that we greatly appreciate the care and attention our children have received over the years, and I am so pleased that my child is enrolled at a facility that prioritizes excellence! Thank you for the work you do every day!
