Please join us in welcoming Empress to the UM Linda Ray Intervention Center team as our newest Senior Classroom Assistant!

What better way to celebrate an amazing summer than with an Ice Cream Sundae Party! πŸ¨β˜€οΈ

After eight incredible weeks of Summer Fun at the University of Miami Linda Ray Intervention Center, last week the children celebrated with a special Ice Cream Sundae Party. They had a blast creating their own delicious sundaes with colorful toppings and sweet treats while sharing smiles, laughter, and memories with friends and teachers. It was the perfect way to wrap up a summer filled with learning, creativity, and joy.

Our Summer Program was made possible through the generous support of The Children's Trust. We are deeply grateful for your continued commitment to creating brighter tomorrows for the children in our community. πŸ’™

Over the summer, the children at the University of Miami Linda Ray Intervention Center enjoyed eight wonderful weeks of summer fun! πŸŒ»β˜€οΈ

One of their favorite activities was our Sunflowers & Sunshine art project. The children explored the beauty of sunflowers by touching, smelling, and observing their vibrant colors before creating their own beautiful sunflower paintings on canvas. It was a wonderful opportunity to spark creativity while engaging all of their senses.
