When a child walks into a preschool classroom, their whole family walks in with them — and we wouldn't want it any other way.

Getting a three- or four-year-old ready for kindergarten is a team effort, and the best outcomes happen when everyone's pulling in the same direction.

If you care about family engagement and school readiness as much as we do, we're searching for our next Lead Teacher for our new state-funded preschool classroom.

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

True, but here's the part we like to emphasize: every shot you do take teaches you something about the next one.

So keep taking your shot, because eventually the work pays off.

That's the mindset that matters, and the one we want every one of our young people to have — on and off the court.

Grateful to Sen. Dan Cruce for visiting this week as part of Wear Orange Weekend and National Gun Violence Awareness Day. He caught a glimpse of the creativity and passion of our kids as they expressed themselves through art.

Thank you for stopping by, Senator, and for caring about a safer community for all our neighbors.

When our Summer Enrichment Program is in session, this is a familiar sight around the neighborhood. Kids walking back from the park or playground. Staff leading the way, making sure everyone's moving in the same direction.

It's the kind of scene we don't take for granted — made possible by a team that shows up and gives it their all, and parents who trust us with their kids for eight weeks.

We can't wait to run it back this summer. 🤎

If you’re a parent, you’ve probably been thinking about summer break for weeks. There’s a lot to figure out, especially if you’re working and need a full-day option for the kids.

Our Summer Enrichment Program is now enrolling, and it could be just what you’re looking for. The link below has everything you need to know.

Summer's almost here, and for kids it means freedom from homework, early alarms, and rushing out the door to catch the bus. For parents, it's a little more complicated than that. Between mid-June and late August, there's a long stretch of open time to fill — along with the very real concern that y...

Ask a parent what they want out of summer for their kids and you'll hear some version of the same thing: keep them learning, keep them moving, keep them around good people, and please, keep them off screens as much as possible.

That's the whole idea behind our Summer Enrichment Program, where we blend field trips, swimming, music, sports, activity clubs, and academic enrichment into an experience built for kids and loved by parents.

Curious about the details? It's an eight-week program for 5- to 12-year-olds that runs from June 22 to August 14, Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM.

If you've got a child in that age range, call Jazmine at 302.658.5404, ext. 135, to get them signed up.

A lot of us treat rest like it's something we have to earn. We push through and finish our to-do lists, all while telling ourselves we'll slow down at some point. But that day never comes, and running on empty starts to feel normal.

But what if we have it backwards? What if rest isn't the reward at the end of the work, but what makes the work, and everything else we do, possible? Turns out, it is. Rest is foundational to staying well, to feeling like yourself.

That's especially true for your mental health, where rest can be the difference between coping and crumbling. When it's hard to slow down, remember: rest is not a luxury, it's how you keep going.

The countdown is on.

In just a couple weeks, school will be out and a familiar refrain will start echoing through the house: "I'm bored. There's nothing to do."

They won't be bored with us.

Our Summer Enrichment Program is now enrolling. From weekly field trips and swimming to music, sports, and activity clubs, we've built a full schedule that keeps kids engaged all summer long.

Academic enrichment is woven in too, so the summer slide doesn't stand a chance.

The program runs June 22 through August 14, Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM — and it's open to kids ages 5 to 12.

Call Jazmine at 302.658.5404, ext. 135, to enroll your child. And scroll through the pics to see what summer at Neighborhood House looks like.
