This story is a beautiful reminder of why this work matters.

At our recent Little Learners Lab event, where families played and learned alongside their children using materials intentionally selected to support HighScope KDIs, a family discovered a book featuring a child with an NG tube—just like their son. Seeing himself reflected in a story created a powerful moment of connection and belonging.

We are grateful to Child's Play (International) Ltd for creating inclusive books that help all children feel seen, valued, and represented.

A special thank you to Early Learning Indiana for providing the grant funding that allowed us to purchase these thoughtfully selected materials and create meaningful learning experiences for children and families.

This is why we do what we do. 🫶🏼

Grateful for the opportunity to spend the day at the Engaging Women’s Conference hosted by St. Mary’s college last week. It was such an important pause in our work — a chance to celebrate, connect, and learn alongside so many strong and inspiring women in our community.

We continue to stand in support of the incredible women on our team and the women everywhere who lead, serve, create, and keep the world moving forward.

We also love that registration for this event helps support future women entrepreneurs in our community, creating even more opportunities for women to grow and thrive.

What happens when a team that believes in PLAY heads out of town for a conference?
We kicked off our trip with a cell phone case exchange! Each teammate drew a name and picked out a fun phone case for that person to use for the ENTIRE conference. Let’s just say… there were lots of laughs, plenty of hilarious reactions, and definitely a few confused looks from people around us as we proudly carried our new accessories everywhere we went.
One thing we know for sure: play matters — not just for children, but for adults too. Moments of joy, connection, and laughter help build strong relationships, and strong relationships help us do meaningful work together.
Here’s a little peek at the fun from the airport!

We’re home from an incredible few days in San Antonio at the HighScope Leadership Conference! Feeling so blessed for safe travels, meaningful time together as a team, and the opportunity to continue learning and growing alongside early childhood leaders from across the globe. We built new connections, shared lots of laughter, and enjoyed soaking in the beautiful art, culture, and history of the city along the way.

Our office will be closed May 11–13 as our team travels to the HighScope Leadership Conference! This is such a privilege for us, and we’re excited to learn, grow, and bring new ideas back to the work we do with all of you.
While we’re there, we’ll be attending dynamic sessions and keynotes from leading voices in education and touring early childhood programs to see innovative practices in action. We can’t wait to share what we learn when we return! Can you guess where we will be going?
