Welcome to the August issue of REACH! As we embrace the final weeks of summer and prepare for the energy of a new school year, this edition is filled with valuable resources and exciting opportunities. We’re delighted to share insights from our inaugural “Let’s GROW Outside!” initiative, including a Provider Spotlight focusing on one program’s embrace of gardening with children. Our Coach’s Corner article offers practical guidance on effective room arrangement; combine these tips with the visual supports resources shared below to enhance your behavior management approach. This month also brings important updates on the Quality Improvement System, including the FY26 Quality Improvement Award process, and a reminder that registration is now open for the 1st State Family Child Care Conference. We encourage you to explore these resources as you plan for a successful fall.
