We need your help!! In honor of #NationalServiceDo

We need your help!! In honor of #NationalServiceDogMonth, we want to celebrate the work that William and Chaya do at ReadyKids. An important part of the dogs' role is providing comfort to kids who come in for trauma counseling sessions. During their time in sessions, kids form strong bonds with William and Chaya, making saying goodbye tough. We would love to provide kids with mini "Williams" and "Chayas" so they can bring a piece of the pups home with them.

Here's where you come in! We have black and yellow lab stuffed animals on our Amazon Wishlist. If you are able, we would love to have some of these cute pups for our counselors to pass along to their participants. See the wishlist at the link in our bio 🐕🐕‍🦺

Did you know? Songs are an important tool when supporting language development, creating routines kids can predict, and keeping kids engaged in learning 🎵 If you need some musical inspiration, check out our Youtube channel! Amy David, our Early Learning Specialist, has been busy recording songs that you can use in the classroom or childcare setting throughout the day. Happy singing!!
