We are surrounded by screens these days. They are literally everywhere we go. Restaurants have multiple flat screen televisions all over the walls, we’ve got two or three in our own homes, add to that all the laptops and tablets and the smart phones we can’t live without. It starts to add up! What amount [...]
You give your child ample calcium so he or she can build strong teeth. If only your child didn’t use them against you… and the kid down the street… and Uncle Harry! Today we’re discussing biting: who does it, what it means, and how to stop it. First, if your toddler bites, know that you’re [...]
We are all familiar with the common saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.” Most of us have probably quoted it a time or two as we tried to solidify our toughness. I certainly have. I really believed it until I realized how powerful words can be and [...]
Playing outside is one of the greatest joys of childhood. I vividly remember playing on my school’s playground as a little girl—running, swinging, skipping, playing tag with my friends. Those were the good ole days! Now as a mom and the Director at School for Amazing Kids, Calera I realize just how important it is [...]
Play may be as old as human existence itself. The philosopher Plato once said, “You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” Our brains are hardwired for playing. In fact, for young children there is no distinction between playing and learning. To a child, it’s [...]

What does honoring the New Year mean when you’re a parent to a child under 5? As a working mom with a 10-month-old, I don’t have a lot of time to sit and reflect on the year that’s just whizzed by me. Sure, I’d love to sit down with a cup of cocoa, gaze out [...]
What does every parent want? For their child to grow up to be a happy, well-adjusted adult with the necessary social skills to succeed in life.

Our children’s behavior can be inconvenient at times—even downright embarrassing! Please… don’t pretend you don’t know what I mean. I know you get it… I saw how you acted at Publix the other day when Junior was running along the top of the aisle throwing cans at innocent shoppers. Oh… sorry… maybe that was someone [...]

Miss Christina shared her love of gardening with her class by teaching them how to grow a bean plant. “I’m going to climb my beanstalk [...]
What Parents are Saying about Our Schools
Each teacher she has had has been wonderful……
As with most parents you want a place that is clean, safe and one that has a good curriculum that will provide your child with the tools needed and to have a great foundation preparing them for school. I also wanted a loving environment and I found that here. My daughter is has been going here since she was 6 weeks and is now almost 2 years old. Each teacher she has had has been wonderful with her and she loves them. For example when I picked her up today she passed 4 teachers and ran to each one for a hug on her way out and that’s more important to me than anything. I can teach her at home but I want her to feel loved and cared for when I leave each morning and she knows she is in good hands.
