  • Tinkergarten

    Playing outside, no matter where you live, has an enormous number of benefits. However, it can be hard to know what to actually do out there. As adults, we typically interact with nature in a limited way. This site has lots of free resources to get you creatively outside with your children. Try the monthly calendar for some ideas.

  • Help out Research!

    Preschool is an age with many opportunities to involve your child in an accredited academic research study, many of which just involve watching a video, or pointing to a screen. In addition to giving back to science, the benefits to you and your child are numerous. Many of these research studies use standard questionnaires that are also part of school or program admissions. Early exposure to the process of answering unique questions can be great free prep for these future situations. Often, researchers will share insights about your child’s strengths, which can help you make more informed decisions. And, they are often just fun!

  • The Car Seat Lady

    Buying the right car seat for your child can be overwhelming emotionally and logistically, especially if you do not own a car. While height and weight limits are posted, a common way kids outgrow many car seats is their seat-to-shoulder height, which is not posted clearly for many seats. Outsourcing the decision to an expert who has collected all the data and attends car seat conferences will be one of the best decisions you can make.
