There are so many cute little areas to explore. ⁣ ⁣ Unfortunately we didn’t check times for the Japanese garden so we will have to return another time when they are open. ⁣ ⁣ Japanese Garden Hours:⁣ ⁣ Wed & Thurs 1-4⁣ Sundays: 1 - 4:30⁣ ⁣ *Note that you have to register for a time in advance and time slots are limited.
⁣ Hey guys, ⁣ ⁣ I just wanted to take a minu ⁣ Hey guys, ⁣ ⁣ I just wanted to take a minute and promote this amazing author and businesswoman, @staceymdesign ⁣ ⁣ ❤️ ⁣ ⁣ I am not sure I have ever run into a business that cares so deeply about the development of your child. ⁣ ⁣ ❤️⁣ ⁣ She cares that children of all colors and abilities are represented in her illustrations, she cares fervently about their emotional well being and works to implement these tactics in elementary schools. ⁣ ⁣ ❤️⁣ ⁣ Lately, I have been discussing a lot about how to ensure our children do better than the generations that came before them, and I truly believe that if we as parents and teachers implement this SEL program, we will aid in the development of confident, and compassionate children. ⁣ ⁣ ❤️⁣ ⁣ I urge you all to check out her work and also purchase these guided journals for your children. ⁣ ⁣ ❤️⁣ ⁣ Not only are they excellent for practicing their writing skills but they force both parent and child to evaluate what is currently going on in the child’s life and provide a healthy outlet to express it.
⁣ 📖 ❤️ Story time returns tomorrow! ❤️ 📖 ⁣ ⁣ And guess what?!⁣ ⁣ We have a 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 guest reading to you this week!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⭐️ ⭐️ 𝗡𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘆 𝗡𝗶𝗸𝗸𝗶 ⭐️ ⭐️⁣ ⁣ ⁣ @hopscotchcity and I can’t wait for you to tune in tomorrow and enjoy a delightful story time with the wonderful children’s entertainer @nannynikkimusic !

For many of our fellow Americans, tomorrow is a ve For many of our fellow Americans, tomorrow is a very important holiday. 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗵. ⁣🎉🎆 ⁣ The day in 1865 (June 19th) that General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, TX and announced that the last of the enslaved were now free. (𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝟸.𝟻 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘛𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘵)⁣ ⁣ The celebration mirrors the way most Americans celebrate the 4th of July but still, many among us know nothing or very little about this day. ⁣ ⁣ While many adults are pushing to make Juneteenth a national holiday, lets start introducing the day to our children. Not only is it an important part of our history, but it will help normalize the day in their minds as something to be celebrated every year. ⁣ ⁣ Celebrate with us tomorrow as we read “𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗲” by Floyd Cooper and talk about this important holiday & historical moment. ⁣ ⁣ Check out my stories for a family friendly Juneteenth celebration in Bronzeville tomorrow from 1-3 courtesy of @hwccchicago @girlslikemeproject @fourtunehouse @kvrizma @semigrownfolk @brownbooksandpaintbrushes

We’ve got some exciting news for you! 🎉⁣ ⁣ @hopscotchcity and I have teamed up to provide a 𝗻𝗲𝘄 weekly storytime that promotes diversity called 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗴𝗼!⁣ ⁣ We will feature books with diverse characters, storylines, and authors. Many covering historical events and leaders but age appropriate for your little ones. We will start out here on both of our Instagram’s 𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄 at 10am but we will be moving this project to YouTube in the near future. Make sure to watch both to hear two different stories! ⁣ ⁣ We will also provide coloring pages, reading comprehension questions, and a link to purchase the book so that you can build your 𝘰𝘸𝘯 diverse home library!⁣ ⁣ Now more than ever we want to concentrate on how we are going to prepare these youngsters for the future. Books that teach children about different cultures, people, and history will build empathy and teach them to be the people they need to be for a better tomorrow. ⁣ ⁣ We are also encouraging local Chicago businesses to record a reading to contribute to our YouTube channel. Please reach out to one of us if you would like to be a guest reader!
