The safest crib is a bare crib!

✅ Firm mattress
✅ Fitted sheet
🚫 No bumpers
🚫 No blankets
🚫 No toys

A clutter-free crib keeps baby safe during sleep.

Water safety starts with active supervision.

Young children can drown silently and in seconds — even in shallow water. Always keep little ones within arm’s reach around pools, lakes, rivers, oceans, splash pads, and even bathtubs.

Children are always watching and learning from the things they observe their parents and caregivers doing.

Your preschooler can learn so much about self-care by seeing the adults in their lives model good self-care habits at home. Invite your child to help you prepare a healthy meal, walk together and enjoy the fresh air, or sit together and read your favorite book under a cozy blanket.

These moments provide opportunities for connection with your child as they learn ways to care for themselves from the person that cares for them most!

School is ending but the fun doesn't have to! If you have a child 0-5, bring them to playgroups this summer!

What is playgroup?
This is how we prepare little ones to be ready for school when the time comes. We do it the best way we know how- through PLAY! A playgroup consists of 45 minutes of free-play and then 15 minutes of whole group time where we read a book, sing songs, count, and do finger plays!

Due to the HVAC being replaced at Cecil Manor, all playgroups will be hosted in collaboration with the Gilpin Manor Judy Center this summer at Gilpin Manor Elementary School.

You never have to call ahead or reserve a spot- simply show up and play! We hope to see you at GMES this summer! 🙂

Floaties and inflatable toys are NOT life-saving devices.

Children should always be closely supervised in and around water, even when wearing puddle jumpers or arm floaties.

Talk, read, and sing with your children—right from the start. It builds young brains and prepares them for success in school and in life. In fact, very young children can learn some of the basic concepts of early math.

Diaper time is a perfect opportunity for you to bond with your baby by counting, singing, and talking about early math skills.
