We are thrilled to be bringing our new program to the Pacific Northwest for the 2012 schoolyear, but we are in need of a space! We seek to serve in the range of 30 preschool aged students, no more than 42, and want to find the ideal location to house this program.While we find a challenge thrilling we do not seek to navigate conditional use permits, TIFs or the like and would like a space with the same previous use (commercial, E use, etc..).

Please contact us if you know of childcare centers that are relocating, vacancies of spaces or other leads. And we will be back with information on how to enroll your gifted, bright and creative child!

Do you have a 3-year-old child or a 10-11 month old infant?

The Early Childhood Development Project at Lewis and Clark College is currently conducting two studies on infants' and children's understanding of other people.

We are looking for families with 3-year-old children to participate in a study on media and personality contributions to preschool aged children's understanding of other people's thoughts and feelings ($25 compensation).

We are also looking for families with babies age 10 or 11 months old to participate in a study on how an infant's temperament may contribute to their understanding of other people's behavior ($30 compensation).

Parents are welcome to stay in the room with their child during the entire study.

Each study takes approximately 30 minutes to an hour to complete.

You will also be able to park on the Lewis and Clark campus for free and we offer free childcare for siblings.

If you are interested in having your child participate in our study please email childstudy@lclark.edu
or visit our website for more information:

As part of the work to support the Safe Chemicals Act, the Center for Environmental Health is soliciting submissions for a kids' art contest. Submissions will be delivered to Senators next month, urging them to support this critical bill.  Details here: http://www.saferchemicals.org/artcontest

Any budding artists out there who want to help support the cause? Here are the submission guidelines and details:

Who: Three age categories: 5 and under, 6-12 and 13-18

When: Art submissions will be collected until February 29th, 2012

What: Kids of all ages get to make art describing what a healthy future for our families and environment means to them.

Where: We'd love to collect art from as many states as possible. If you are a parent of a young child, perhaps you want to organize a "playdate" where kids do art together. Be sure to take pictures!

Artwork will be delivered to your Senator asking them to support the Safe Chemicals Act! We can also help you set up a meeting with your Senator's office in your state so parents & artists can make a delivery in person. 

Prize: Winners of the art contest will receive a generous basket of non-toxic art supplies, their art featured on our website and via social media. Art that is 2-D will be printed on canvass to hang and feature in your home! Video winners will be featured on our website! Interest and want more information?

Email lindsaydahl@saferchemicals.org for contest rules and ideas for how to make art with your friends and family.

Here's a super sweet deal for Valentine's! Get a portrait session for your little honey and two 5x7 archival film prints for $200!
