Back-to-school or beginning school for the first time is often challenging for children and families starting early childhood education. Up to this point in the child’s life, they’ve likely been either inseparable from their parents or family members. Transitioning from homecare or daycare to an educational center can be a frightening thing not only for the child but the parent and guardian as well. It’s a big transition.
Over the years we've identified five tips that families have implemented at the beginning of the school year that set them up for success for the remainder of the year!

On Indigenous Peoples' Day, Martha's Table honors those who lived on this land before anyone else. The Nacotchtank tribe, from which Anacostia is derived, inhabited what we know as the District today. They are the namesake of the river that flows through our city and the area we proudly operate out of. We remember the hardships and tragedies they faced. We honor their place in and contribution to our community's shared story and history. Source: https://bit.ly/2Ba2FQy

Earlier this month we sat down with three such volunteers who, at Martha’s Table, are famously known as the Lobby Ladies. Watch the interview to learn who the Lobby Ladies are and why they serve! .
