🦁🐠🐒🦋 Yesterday, our Early Childhood Education scholars wrapped up the school year with a wild adventure at the Detroit Zoo!

Our Starfish families and teams enjoyed a fun-packed day celebrating the end of another incredible school year with animal exhibits, face painting, play, time together, and plenty of new memories.

Thank you to all the families who joined us for this special day! Wishing everyone a wonderful summer! 🩵

🚙🩵 43 children riding safely in their new and properly installed car seats!

Through our partnership with Corewell Health, we recently hosted a Car Seat Safety Event at our Starfish Westwood ECE Center.

Families received new car seats matched to each child’s age, height, and weight, while our certified technicians ensured every seat was properly installed and caregivers left with important safety information.

👏 A special thank you to our six Starfish team members who are certified Car Seat Safety Technicians: Chasity Brewer, Tamika Trinity, LaKeba Braswell, Maha Hasan, Kimberly Bracey, and Carolyn Frey.

The support continues long after these community events. Throughout the year, our technicians provide one-on-one assistance to families, helping children travel safely and giving parents greater peace of mind.

☀️ Today, our Early Childhood Education team members gathered at Belle Isle for our 2026 ECE Spring Conference, a well-deserved opportunity to recharge and enjoy time together!

Between the fun yard games, hilarious rounds of tug-of-war, yoga sessions, raffles, and all of the food and laughter under the sun, the afternoon was filled with opportunities to move, relax, reconnect with one another, and reflect on the incredible work happening across our programs.

Thank you to our entire ECE team for helping children learn, grow, and thrive. We are grateful for each of you and proud to celebrate all that you do. 💙

Rain, rain… you can stay because our early learners were going to play anyway!

Last week’s rainy weather did not stop the fun within our Early Childhood Education program. Our teachers got creative by setting up a clear outdoor globe tent so the children could still enjoy outside time, laugh together, and experience the rain in a whole new way.

With smiles, excitement, and plenty of energy, our scholars proudly chanted, “Rain, rain, you can stay, we’re gonna play anyway!”

At Starfish, learning, exploring, and joyful play happen no matter the weather.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

At Starfish Family Services, we are especially grateful for the military families within our community whose strength, sacrifice, and resilience continue to inspire us every day.

As we spend time with loved ones this holiday weekend, we remember those who made that freedom possible.
