Attention parents! Are you looking for ways to keep your toddlers engaged during spring break? Here are five fun Collaborative for Children-approved activities that are easy to do and will keep your little ones entertained. #SpringBreak2026

Harvard research shows that the biggest predictor of a child’s future well‑being isn’t academics or wealth, it’s parental warmth. When kids feel seen, heard, and supported, they grow into confident, emotionally healthy adults.

While Texas equips preschool teachers with essential skills, Collaborative for Children also empowers child care center owners with entrepreneurial and leadership training. When educators and providers grow together, children thrive.

Preparing future talent can’t wait until high school or college; we need to start early. Investing in early childhood education, especially for children from birth to five, is both a moral and economic imperative.

Saying "Be careful" can sometimes do more harm than good. It warns them of danger without teaching them how to handle it. Instead, ask questions that support problem-solving and critical thinking, helping kids assess their surroundings and respond with confidence.

Spring break doesn’t have to mean a pause on learning. With a little creativity, everyday moments can become powerful opportunities for children to explore, imagine, and grow. ow.ly/sKbS50YsVLL
