Thrive To Five is a project of Communities In Schools of Tempe and Kyrene that is funded by First Things First to provide family support services to parents and/or caregivers of children between the ages of birth to five years old.

Thrive To Five has the goals of promoting understanding of early child development and brain growth and to provide families and caregivers with the tools to help children reach their potential and enter school ready to learn.

Family Support Services are offered through the Family Resource Centers of the Tempe Elementary and Kyrene School Districts. Parent Liaisons work within the Resource Centers as a direct contact for parents in their community.

This program serves the communities of Chandler, Tempe, Guadalupe and Ahwatukee Arizona. Click here for the website!

Car Seat Safety Checks

So…I watch Teen Moms on MTV…for the sake of research, or so I say. You want to know what is driving me crazy on that show right now??!


All the struggles of the pregnant teens? Um, oh yeah…that is important too… but no.

It’s the car seats!! There are cameras in the Mom’s cars and as they are driving around I keep seeing the car seat in the back literally swaying from side to side.

It makes me want to email MTV…shouldn’t they say something?

Well, while I figure out how to harass a MTV reality show into social responsibility the rest of us can get some professional help on the matter.

Safe Journeys offers car seat safety classes. Learn all about the different car seats and find out which car seat type is best for which age, and learn how to install a car seat properly. Then install your own car seat with an instructor assisting.

April 30th, 2011 9-11am OR May 14, 2011 9-11am

To register call: ResourceLink 1-877-728-5414

Cost: 5$ per person

Safe Travels!
