Wouldn’t it be great to know what your grandparent’s first home was like? What about how she spent her summers growing up? We have created a user friendly online process for grandparents and parents to write about their lives. The content is then published in a book dedicated to their children or grandchildren. It is so meaningful for kids to know about their families. I also know it gives the “author” pleasure (and let’s face it – something to do right now at home!) to write their memories.

Change your life with an au pair
Flexible and reliable childcare
An au pair is a form of childcare you can trust like family. When your family hosts an au pair, you receive extra support from someone who lives in your home, gets to know your family routines, and forms a loving relationship with your children. This can not only make family life easier but also more enjoyable.
Work-life balance
Juggling your career and your family can be exhausting—especially when you have little ones running around! An au pair can make things easier by helping with meal prep, before- and after-school transportation and even child-related chores around the house. Whether you need childcare on a typical 9-5 schedule, morning and evening care, or a schedule that changes week to week, au pairs can work up to 45 hours per week and up to 10 hours per day on a schedule you decide.
Cultural exchange
There’s no better way to foster a sense of cultural curiosity in your children than by hosting an au pair! Your au pair will introduce your family to the recipes, language, traditions and customs from their home country and in exchange, you’ll help your au pair experience the American way of life.

WHEN SHOULD I CALL EARLY STAGES?
If you are concerned about how your child is walking, talking, playing, learning, or behaving, don’t wait to see if they will grow out of it. The experts at our family-friendly center will work with you to identify your child’s strengths as well as areas where they might need extra help. The first five years of a child’s life are the most important to their development. The earlier a child receives services, the more likely it is that their needs will be reduced or even eliminated as they get older.
WHAT SERVICES CAN EARLY STAGES PROVIDE?
All children referred to Early Stages receive a developmental screening. If necessary, your child will receive a more in-depth evaluation and services. Some of the services that Early Stages can recommend include specialized instruction, speech/language therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, psychological services, and behavioral support services.
WHAT HAPPENS IF MY CHILD NEEDS AN EVALUATION?
Your family is assigned to a Family Care team member, who will walk you through our process from start to finish. They will contact you before the evaluation to make sure you understand the process and what will happen. On the day of your visit, your child will work with a team of specialists who will use play activities to evaluate your child. They will take the time to help your child feel comfortable and you will be able to watch the entire evaluation.
WHO DECIDES WHAT SERVICES MY CHILD WILL RECEIVE?
You and members of the evaluation staff will make all decisions together as a team. You may also invite other people you want involved. This team determines what services your child may need and the right school site at which to receive them. Your Family Care team member will work with the placement specialist to determine which school will best support your child’s needs and make sure all the paperwork gets to the school.
