Our tiny library is being installed 📚🏠📖🎉

A tribe is a group of people who are connected by shared values, history, culture, purpose, loyalty, and mutual care. It is not always about blood relation; sometimes a tribe is the family, team, community, or circle of people who show up, support one another, protect the mission, and grow together.

It has been so busy that I did not get a chance to post about graduation yet, and I am still collecting pictures but I wanted to share just a little bit of the joy.

Our preschool graduation was such a beautiful celebration of our children, families, and staff. We are so proud of our little graduates and all the love, learning, and growth that brought them to this special day.

More pictures to come, but for now, enjoy a small glimpse of the joy! 🎓💛

This thing is real!
Today we added brand-new garden beds at our Trawick location, built with love by volunteers, families, and our children.
The beds were filled with soil and planted by the hands of our children learning, growing, and working together.
What a joy to see the garden come alive through community, hard work, and little hands with big purpose.
Enjoy the well-being work! 🌱💚

Happy National Children's Gardening Week!

🌿 Gardening with kids is about so much more than plants—it’s about growth in every sense! 🌱

This quote says it all: “We may think we are nurturing our garden, but of course it's our garden that is really nurturing us.” Gardening teaches kids patience, responsibility, and the magic of watching life unfold. Plus, the fresh air, movement, and sense of accomplishment? Priceless.

Want to get started? I’ve got tips on the benefits of gardening for kids, square foot gardening with kids, and a kids’ garden planner to help you dig in!

🐞🌿 Week 2 of Little Sprouts Garden Club was full of discovery, digging, and tiny garden explorers! 🌿🐞

This week our little gardeners became insect investigators as we explored the important role bugs and worms play in helping gardens grow. The children used magnifying glasses, gardening tools, and all five senses to observe the natural world around them.

From smelling herbs and identifying scents to digging in the soil and searching for tiny creatures, every moment was filled with curiosity, teamwork, and hands-on learning. 🪱🔎🌱

One of the sweetest parts of the day was watching the children carefully create their own garden spaces, work together, and proudly investigate what they found underground.

At A Safe Place, we believe some of the best learning happens outsidewith dirt on our hands, wonder in our hearts, and nature as our classroom. 💚
