During the first year of a child’s life, they will learn a lot. This is an important time in their life when they will be taking in a ton of information. When your baby is born, their brain contains 100 billion neurons and during the first years of your baby’s life, they will develop trillions of brain-cell connections. This is a pivotal time in your child’s life and there are many things that you can do

What was a book you remember reading and loving as a child? Was it one you read on your own? Was it one that your family read to you? Was it one that you still go back to, or that you read to your children now? Even if we don’t remember our earliest read alouds, they influenced us in an extraordinary way.

Halloween is an exciting time for kids, as well as for many adults. Children get to dress up as their favorite Disney character, superhero, dinosaur, or sports figure and run from house to house collecting candy. What’s not to love? Halloween, much like other holidays, also makes a great theme for fun crafts. And if we know anything, it is that kids love candy and crafts, making Halloween a wonderful holiday for children. Crafts are a
When your child starts daycare, you worry about a thing or two. You may worry about them missing you too much, or not making friends. You worry they will have a hard time making the transition and wonder if they are in the right care. It is most likely that you are more worried than they are. Your child will most likely miss you the first few days, but once they get to know the teachers
Kids are curious. They want to know about the things around them, why things happen, and how things work. All the things adults have already learned and never question or think about anymore, kids are just beginning to explore. They dig up bugs, try to get a closer look at birds, and experiment with things they find throughout the house. Curious kiddos need to feed that curiosity. School is obviously a great place to help them
Have you considered preschool for your child, but you are having trouble making the decision? Maybe you are afraid they are too young, too dependant, or not ready? Preschool can be a wonderful experience for children, and at Yellow Brick Road we strive to nurture every child to develop their strengths and reach new heights.

Spring has sprung! Even though we face multiple snow threats here in the midwest, the hint of spring in the air is enough to give you the itch to get out and get active. With your little ones being cooped up inside all winter, the anticipation of sunny warm days is almost too much to handle.
