Providing the information, support, and encouragement parents need to help their children develop optimally during the crucial early years of life. Louis, Mo.

Parents are their child's first and most influential teachers. Parents as Teachers is a child development program for parents of children under 36 months of age to assist in that role. It is sponsored by our local school district at no charge to families living within the community. Services include personal visits, group meetings, playgroups, screenings, and links with other community resources. Services are facilitated by certified parent educators with specialized training in working with families who have infants and toddlers. Program participation is voluntary. As funding is available, services may extend to kindergarten age. There are currently 250 families in the program. We are pleased to be recognized by Parents as Teachers National Center as a "Program of Excellence" following our assessment in program quality performance standards. Leavenworth Parents as Teachers is an international affiliate of Parents as Teachers National Center, St. Our program also serves Fort Leavenworth USD207.

Here are the Top Trick-or-Treating safety tips from our friends at NHTSA. 🎃🍬

Sweater weather is officially here, and that means one more thing to check before you buckle up: removing the bulky coat before buckling the car seat. A thick coat can compress in a crash, leaving the harness too loose to do its job. Buckle and secure the harness first, then you can add the coat over the top or use it as a blanket instead. This small move can make a big difference in how well the harness can protect your rider.

Spooky Season is here! 🦇 🎃 Trick or Treating will be from 6-8 p.m. October 31 throughout Fort Leavenworth's housing villages.

A few safety reminders to keep in mind during trick or treating:
🦇 Carry a flashlight or glow stick and add reflective tape to costumes and candy bags
🦇 Use sidewalks and crosswalks, never assume drivers see you
🦇 Plan your route and stick to familiar, well-lit areas
🦇 Make sure costumes fit well, allow clear vision and do not create trip hazards

Today, we honor the village of people who come together to help children and families thrive.

We celebrate National Grandparents Day by honoring the grandparents and grandparent figures whose wisdom, encouragement, and care make a lasting difference. The day also begins Family, Friend, and Neighbor Appreciation Week, recognizing the relatives, friends, and neighbors who provide trusted care to children every day.

Who is part of your family’s village? Celebrate them in the comments.
