🌟 Week of the Young Child | April 11–17 🌟
Join us in celebrating the Week of the Young Child—a special time dedicated to recognizing the needs of children from birth through age 8, their families, and the incredible early childhood educators who support them every day. 💛
This week shines a light on the importance of high-quality early learning, supportive services, and strong policies that help children grow, learn, and thrive. When we invest in young children, we’re investing in a brighter future for all. 🌱✨
Stay tuned—more details on how we’ll be celebrating throughout the week are coming soon! 🎉
Let’s come together to celebrate, advocate, and uplift the voices of our youngest learners and those who care for them!

Join us at the Family Center of Washington County for our next Caregivers Corner 💛
This upcoming session, led by Becky Coleman, MSW, will focus on something so many of us need but don’t always get support around: parent self-regulation. Learn practical ways to manage your emotions so you can show up more calmly and confidently for your kids, and yourself.

Comment on Facebook 💚 FREE Medical ...
Is there any help for people who don’t have a primary care provider because they haven’t been able to get one anywhere? No one is accepting new patients. It’s very problematic when someone has real health concerns and cannot get help without having a pcp even though they have insurance.
