September is Baby Safety Month! Tiny changes can make a big difference. Here are a few simple ways to keep your little one safe at home and on the go! 🍼

We’re proud to announce that our Kindermusik program has been named a 2025 Kindermusik Top Program by Kindermusik International! This recognition places us among the best programs in the world for the fifth year in a row!

A special shoutout to Marnie Hansen, our Kindermusik Director and Accredited Educator, who has spent the last 13 years helping local children and families discover the joy of music. Her care and creativity make Kindermusik a place where every child can grow, learn, and belong.
We’re celebrating Marnie and her team for their incredible work and this well-deserved honor! 💜🎶

THANK YOU @utahtechu for including us in your Freshman Day of Service! 🩷💚🩵
The Class of 2029 showed up and got it done! 💪🏼 Students bundled diapers, built a landscaping wall for our RV unit space, trimmed the grounds, cleaned up our Caterpillar Clubhouse classroom, and prepped equipment for our upcoming Glow in the Dark Golf Tournament. We’re so grateful for their hard work and energy! #ServiceSaturday

We’re feeling all the feels! 💙 A huge thank you to @walk_with_autism for their generous $1,000 donation! This amazing organization was started by Mackenzie Bien, who began her journey with us as an Early Intervention parent. Her child was diagnosed with autism during their time in our program, and we’re honored to have been a part of their story.

It’s extra special when the families we serve turn around and give back to help others. We sure love our community! 🌱

We’re honored to be recognized as the Hurricane Valley Chamber of Commerce’s July Business of the Month!

From St. George, to Hurricane to Cedar City and beyond, our mission at Root for Kids is to help children and families thrive—and it means the world to have that work celebrated by our community. Thank you to the Chamber for this recognition and for supporting nonprofit organizations that are working to build a brighter future, one child at a time. 🩷💚🩵

School’s just around the corner, but summer isn’t over just yet! If your kids are saying “I’m bored” for the hundredth time, we’ve got you. Check out these fun + easy activities to soak up the sunshine, make a few more memories, and end summer on a high note! ☀️
What's YOUR favorite summer activity?

Turns out, lullabies aren’t just cute - they’re powerful! 🎶

New research shows that singing to your baby doesn’t just entertain them—it actually boosts their emotional health. Babies whose parents sang more often were happier, calmer, and more connected. And parents felt the difference too.
The best part? You don’t need perfect pitch or a musical background. Just your voice and a little intention. Even without being told, parents in the study naturally turned to singing when soothing their little ones—it just works!

So go ahead and turn diaper changes into dance breaks and bedtime into a mini concert. Your baby’s emotional well-being (and yours) will thank you! 🩷

Kindermusik’s Fall Schedule is here — filled with music, movement, and magical moments for you and your little one! 🍂🎶 rootforkids.org/kindermusik
