Working with children and their parents is a form of love. We love what we do and are devoted to developing and supporting parents and their children. So, with February highlighting Heart Awareness and Valentine’s Day, it is the perfect month for our team to come together and create our first blog to nurture the love that exists within your family.

Valentine’s Day isn’t only for love-struck teenagers passing out candy-grams, flowers, and teddy bears. Creatively displaying love is for all ages, whether it be your child, bestie, partner, or spouse, and it does not need to be observed only on Valentine’s Day. Rather, carry it in your heart all year round, with your family, with your friends, with your community, and in your career. With that said, Valentine’s Day fun (or 14 days of Valentine’s fun), can be a creative, colorful avenue to promote happiness in your home during the cold, grey days between New Year’s and Valentine’s Day. We hope these ideas inspire you and your family to show each other love in fun ways.
