Milestones follow predictable courses in children and help parents, teachers and doctors recognize potential developmental delays. At School for […]

You Can’t Pour From An Empty Cup

There’s an old saying that you can’t pour from an empty cup. Essentially it means that we have to take care of ourselves in order to take care of others. As parents, we are constantly giving, constantly taking care of our families, constantly on the go. There is little time to recharge and rejuvenate, little […]

Are Your Ducks In A Row?

Starting a college fund for a child who is still in diapers might seem a bit premature… Making sure your children are financially provided for if something tragic ever happens to you or your significant other, might sound depressing… Saving money in preparation for unexpected life events—the loss of a job, serious illness or disability—isn’t […]

Family Matters Most

Spending quality time with your kids is one of the best things you can do for them. Kids who have strong, nurturing relationships with their parents and family members build a positive sense of self-worth, develop a sense of closeness with their families and feel more settled and secure. This togetherness as a family can […]

The Great Reopening

For seven weeks our schools were mostly empty. At times, the directors might be in the office catching up on administrative work or in the classrooms cleaning every possible surface but for the most part, the hallways and classrooms that for years were filled with children’s laughter and singing and curious voices sat eerily quiet. […]

Unsung Heroes

We are still in the middle of it. We don’t know how to feel. Grocery stores are a wreck. You can’t find hand sanitizer. You can’t find toilet paper. You’re not allowed to take more than two loaves of bread. We can’t go out to eat. Playgrounds are closed and some parks too. We look […]

What Parents are Saying about Our Schools

She Never Whines or Cries when I Drop Her Off…

We love School for Amazing Kids, Calera! It is the best daycare! The staff is always friendly and upbeat and my 3 yr old loves them all. She has learned so much since starting there, its amazing! She never whines or cries when I drop her off, which is such a blessing in itself. The facility is always clean and the have strong family values.

As an added bonus for parents, once a month they offer “Parents Night Out”. This is great for families on a tight budget and you can’t afford a night out and a babysitter. They are always caring and understanding. I wouldn’t take my child anywhere else!
