Are you looking to enhance your child’s development and receive timely information and educational activities for his or her early language, intellectual, physical, and social learning?  way to grow Home Visits offer parents a personalized approach to boost their child’s school readiness. Schedules for visits are flexible to meet your family’s needs, interests, and busy calendars.  

 

 

Are you looking to get out of the house and give the kids a place to run, jump, crawl, scoot, skip, and play? Children need the opportunity to release energy and get their large muscles moving. Movement in the early years strengthens neural pathways in the brain for learning and growing. Large motor skills build in a sequential way, as children practice they become increasingly skilled and confidant.  At Eastern, way to grow Gym Times offer many fun and active learning experiences for children and their parents.
