CASY is the Child Care Resource and Referral agency serving your community.
We promote quality child care and early learning experiences for all children.
One of the most important things that families can do to help children grow and develop in many different areas is to engage in active, meaningful conversations with them. Through acknowledging and engaging baby’s babbles, a toddler's first words, simple sentences from preschoolers, and deeper conversations with school-agers, families can foster their child’s language development and prepare them for respectful social interactions throughout life.
Join the CASY Family Engagement Specialists for this discussion on meaningful conversations with children of all ages during this month's webinar.

Choosing a child care program for your child is a critically important, yet highly personal decision. But just how do you go about making this decision? Visiting and observing in classrooms will give the most insight into the ins and outs of the programs you are considering. Additionally, interviewing current parents about their experience at the program provides a parent’s perspective that a tour cannot.
Here are some important factors to consider as you visit programs to find the one that suits your family and supports your child’s learning, growth, and development. Click here to read more.
