🚀 During NAEYC’s Week of the Young Child, our Crocodile classroom celebrated Work Together Wednesday by blasting off into space—together! These curious little astronauts completed a space puzzle as a team and built their spaceship out of Magna-Tiles. Through collaboration and creativity, they practiced problem-solving, communication, and teamwork—all key building blocks for early learning. At Children’s Place Association, we believe big futures are built through joyful, hands-on learning experiences. 💛 Want to help more children learn and grow together?

🌦️ Last week, during National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)’s Week of the Young Child, the Polar Bear classroom had a blast exploring the wonders of weather! They dove into fun activities like tracking weather on an interactive calendar, making jello clouds, painting weather patterns with watercolors, and singing weather songs with rain sounds and rainbow streamers. It was such a creative way to learn about the world around them! At Children’s Place Association, we’re all about sparking curiosity and setting the foundation for lifelong learning. 💛 #WOYC25! #childrensplaceassociation #cpakids #childthrive #earlylearning #positiveimpact #communitysupport

🌙 Last week, during National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)’s Week of the Young Child, our little lions took a bite out of science and made moon rocks! 🦁🌑 They had a blast creating their edible "moon rocks," learning about texture, colors, and shapes while practicing fine motor skills. It was a fun, hands-on way to explore and spark curiosity about the world around them! At Children’s Place Association, every moment is an opportunity for children to grow through play, discovery, and teamwork. 💛 Want to support more out-of-this-world learning experiences?

🌞 Last week, during National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)’s Week of the Young Child, our Iguana classroom got creative and made tasty suns!

🍓 Last week, our Panda Bear classroom celebrated Tasty Tuesday during National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)’s Week of the Young Child with a colorful fruit salad!

Activities like this do more than fill tummies—they build fine motor skills, support language development, and bring learning to life.

Last week, our Junior Board co-presidents, Hannah and Derek, along with members Brett and Parmita, attended the Private Equity Association of Chicago (PEAC)'s Nonprofit Forum. The event brought together several nonprofits—including Children’s Place Association—and a group of PEAC members who are thoughtful, community-minded young professionals. We had some great conversations about ways to get involved and make an impact, and we’re excited to see where these new connections might lead. Thank you to PEAC for hosting such a meaningful evening and inviting us to participate! #childrensplaceassociation #cpakids #childthrive #earlylearning #positiveimpact #communitysupport
