Using a strengths-based approach, we work to promote school readiness and eliminate the educational achievement gap among children in Boston’s lowest 10% income families. We provide an array of wrap-around services to give families the tools and resources they need to create stability in their lives and enable parents and caregivers to step comfortably into their role as their child’s first teacher. Our vision is that this program will one day break the cycles of generational poverty and school underachievement among our lowest income families in the city. http://thenewprosperity.org/2011/12/a-different-approach-to-school-readiness/

on’t get me wrong, her holiday list is filled with toys she has seen advertised on TV, but somehow she already knows what is really important.  I want to freeze time and capture that moment forever.  In these challenging times, we as parents want to give our children everything they wish for, but that may not always be possible.  What we can give to them is our time, our attention, and our affection all year long and especially during the holidays. http://www.cantondailyledger.com/news/x1722160908/Lucky-seven-steps-to-brighten-your-holidays
