🩵 Cada año, el 30 de abril, celebramos el Día de los Niños, el Día de los Libros, un alegre recordatorio de que los niños y los libros van de la mano. En First Teacher, creemos que las historias fortalecen el cerebro, los vínculos y el sentido de pertenencia. Por eso, destacamos Book Fiesta! de Pat Mora, autora, poeta y fundadora de esta hermosa celebración. Este libro bilingue nos recuerda: las historias se pueden compartir en cualquier lugar, en cualquier idioma, y que cada niño merece su magia. — 💛 Every year on April 30, we celebrate Día de los niños, Día de los libros, a joyful reminder that kids and books belong together.

🌱🌍 Happy Earth Day from our growing community! At our last workshop, parents/caregivers got their hands dirty (in the best way!) making terrariums and learning fun ways to connect with nature as a family. These little ecosystems went home with a purpose in mind: school readiness starts with curiosity, creativity, and time together!! Families also left with resources and ideas to keep the learning going at home! Want to make your own? Slide for the instructions and inspiration from our workshop! Don’t forget to tag us if you share! 🩵 #happyearthday #firstteacherboston #craftswithkids #schoolreadiness #powertotheparents #schoolvacationactivities #spring

We’re reading Too Much by Jolene Gutierrez—an inspiring story that reminds us things when can do when the it’s just “too much,” especially in a world that often misunderstands neurodiversity. We’re also diving into Río de Mariposas, a beautiful Spanish tale of growth and transformation. 💙📚 As always, you’re welcome to join our virtual read aloud if you didn’t sign up for a book delivery this month! We can’t wait to read with you! #sensoryprocessingdisorder #books #riodemariposas #goodnightbookclub #childrensbookclub

It’s World Autism Awareness Day! Have you heard about our All Abilities program? In a world that often overlooks the unique strengths of individuals with diverse abilities—and the parents navigating it—finding a space for families in Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan felt nearly impossible.

Our All Abilities program is a space to connect, share, and thrive together. 💙🩵 Today, we’re excited to read Too Much by Jolene Gutierrez in our Book Club—a powerful story about embracing who you are. If our All Abilities Group sounds like the community you need right now or if you’d like to join us tonight for our virtual book club, send us a DM! #worldautismawarenessday #powertotheparents #firstteacherboston
