Be Present,
not perfect.

A child’s healthy development starts with a loving, trusted, responsive caregiver.

Every child needs a trusting relationship with at least one dependable adult in their lives, so they can grow and develop in a healthy way as family and community members, friends, thinkers, and discover their connections to the natural environment.You don’t have to be a childcare expert – just being present to provide love, safety, security, joy, and paying attention to them is enough.
