If you've ever said the wrong thing (or said the right thing the wrong way) you know how quickly your mouth can make a big mess. But it doesn't have to be that way.
This 6-session video study explores how your wiring affects what you say, how you listen, and how others hear you. After taking the 40-question assessment, you'll learn a simple framework that will instantly improve your communication. And you'll see how advice from the apostle Paul thousands of years ago may have held the secret all along. This workbook is intended to be used with the I Said This, You Heard That videos,

Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week!
Teacher Appreciation week is coming up soon!! We will be doing our teacher appreciation week a little differently this year :0) We will still be celebrating our WONDERFUL Bright Beginnings Teachers and Staff with lunch each day for one full week. But we will be having this celebration in February as opposed to May. Hopefully this will allow our teachers and staff to be spoiled at a time of year that is not quite as busy as the very end of the school year! This year our celebration week will be February 24-28, 2020.

Valentines for Veterans
- Please see the table in the lobby with supplies to make Valentines for Veterans the week of February 3rd - 8th! Have your kiddo spread a little love this season!
Diaper Drive for Warren County Community Services' Head Start Program
For many parents in the Head Start program in Warren County, buying diapers, wipes, and other baby necessities comes down to a difficult decision: diapers or food/gas. Food/gas always wins out. The Head Start team often sees diapers they put on children in the evening still on the child the next day. WCCS is looking to stock a "baby pantry" of sorts with diapers, wipes, lotion, etc. We would like to help them by hosting a diaper drive on February 1-9, 2020. If you'd like to participate, please bring diapers of all sizes, wipes, lotion, etc. You may deposit them near the display in the lobby.
Thank you so much for your generosity!
