Being a mom to three little ones is a never-ending source of inspiration, especially when it comes to the beautiful chaos of early childhood. For years, I’ve worn two hats: one as a dedicated early intervention provider, serving countless children within the system, and another as a foster parent. But here’s an update – I’m now also a therapeutic foster parent, meaning the amazing kiddos who come into our home will have additional needs.
Protecting a child’s privacy is a priority in foster care and Early Intervention. So, the characters in my blog posts—the ones with the epic meltdowns, the heartwarming breakthroughs, and the laugh-out-loud moments—have been given playful aliases. They represent the many incredible children I’ve had the privilege of working with, both as a provider and as a foster mom.
But here’s the thing: the stories aren’t about who these children are but rather the lessons I’ve learned from each experience. Every giggle fit, every tear-streaked frustration, and every tiny victory has shaped me not just as a mom but as an Early Intervention provider.
These blog posts allow me to share those lessons with you, my fellow Early Intervention tribe. They’re a glimpse into the messy, magnificent world of early childhood, where every day brings a new challenge and a new opportunity to connect, guide, and celebrate each child.
So, while you won’t find real names or specific details, you will find relatable stories with practical advice, heartwarming moments, and a belief in the potential that lies within every child.
