It's National Farmer's Market Week, which makes it the perfect time to remind ourselves about the importance of having good nutrition and fresh produce for young children. During the first 1,000 days of a child’s life, healthy nutrition is necessary to support rapid brain development, a strong immune system, and other essential functions.

Who better to teach our kids about science than the Oregon Museum of Science and Technology OMSI? They recently visited our Barlow Center, and our kids will not soon forget that wonderful adventure. Our enriching S.T.E.A.M. curriculum is just one of the many reasons you should apply to have your child join our program. #steam #science
