Today we were able to celebrate the final storytelling playgroup experience with Story Be Told, Jenifer Strauss! We had a great crowd at COGNiTiON and loved seeing all the smiling faces, laughing with Jen and singing together!

Playgroups will continue through the summer! Stay tuned for the summer schedule!

Celebrating a wonderful community visit! 🎉

The Great Start Collaborative and Northwest Education Services were excited to welcome Betsy Coffia for 103rd State House to the Fisher Early Learning Center last week for a tour of the new community playgroup room.

This new space is designed to support connection, play, learning, and belonging for young children and their caregivers. Rep. Coffia’s support and eagerness were definitely felt, and we are grateful for leaders who recognize how important early childhood experiences are to a healthy, thriving community.

High-quality early learning environments help children build strong foundations while giving families a welcoming place to connect, grow, and feel supported.

We are excited for the joy, relationships, and learning that will happen in this room for years to come! 💛
