Thank you to everyone who joined us and to Beth Cannon for leading an incredible academy! Schools leaders dug into how to lead themselves, their staff and their schools, and left with tools they can use right away.

Want to help your baby get mobile on their own? Try playtime on the floor, tummy time or set a toy just out of reach. This will encourage them to build the muscle strength needed to crawl or walk.

Before you know it, you’ll be the one trying to keep up!

OPSR’s Erin Bell inspired FCCLA members with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Northeast District 4 delivered—bringing 3,060 books to local hospitals and libraries.

Thank you, young leaders! ❤️

Everyday moments are teaching opportunities. Talking and singing to your baby helps build early language skills and brain development. Narrating playtime helps babies learn how things work. Start incorporating teaching moments today and watch your little one thrive.

Tips for safe baby sleep:

• Dress in lightweight, breathable cotton onesies or footies.
• Swap loose blankets for a wearable sleep sack.
• Save hats, bibs and hoods for playtime.
• Always place baby alone, on their back, in an empty crib.

Kids develop on their own timelines. If you have a question about how your little one is growing, you don't have to sit with worry. Talk to your pediatrician or child care provider at your child’s next well-child visit. Getting answers early gives your child their best start!

Early childhood educators, this win is for you! The SEED Act is now law, meaning early childhood educators can deduct out-of-pocket classroom expenses at tax time, just like K-12 teachers already do. We’re grateful for everyone who supported this measure.

Not all “kids content” is created equal. The internet is flooded with AI-generated videos built to grab attention, not teach. Preview what your little ones watch, and turn off autoplay to avoid unwanted videos.

OPSR is launching Cultivate! Cultivate is a child care center-based network providing supports and trainings for leaders of child care centers. So excited to have Beth Cannon in OKC to inspire these leaders!

Peek-a-boo isn’t just a game — it’s brain science! 🧠

Every time you talk to your baby, follow their gaze or play back-and-forth, you’re helping their brain grow. So the next time you’re deep in a round of peek-a-boo, remember: the everyday silly stuff can be the most important.
