Thank you to the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice. We don't know them all, but we owe them all.

Too cute! If you want to know about twos outdoor explorer fashion, ask a two year old. Or two. Denise accessorizes with a pair of handy binoculars, while Natalie opts for a big, blue magnifying glass. We'd ask 'who wore it better,' but this isn't Kidchella. 🤭

SIG ALERT: Preschoolers at Families Forward, all excited from a break in the rain, run outside and jump on their bikes, creating massive jam on Wood Chip Lane. Authorities advise that there will be snacks. 🤗

We’re hiring! Stop by to see us at the Pasadena Career Fair.

Stop by our booth to say hello! 🥰

Happy Lunar New Year!

Nope, face masks don't prevent kids from reading emotions ... or expressing them either. Olivia is pretty darn happy to be in preschool today! 🤗

Join 🤗 for the Mayor’s Annual Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony, 5-7 p.m., Friday, Dec. 2, at City Hall, 100 N. Garfield Ave. That's today! 🎄

Bring family and friends to this free celebration featuring local singers and dancers, crafts for kids provided by Armory Center for the Arts, light refreshments, and a special appearance by jolly ol’ Santa Claus. Have your camera handy to capture some festive holiday moments at several photo stops available throughout the event. 😜

18-month-old kids wiggle around a lot, and putting them on a bouncy lets them channel all that physical energy, while their bodies instinctively—and continually—engage core muscle groups to maintain balance. They also make good props to pose on when someone walks by with a camera. 🤗
