September always feels like a fresh start - new routines, new classrooms, and new opportunities for kids to grow and thrive. At Murtis Taylor Child Enrichment Centers, we’re excited to welcome families into a season filled with learning, friendships, and discovery. If you’ve been thinking about enrolling your child, now is the perfect time to make the move. Here’s why starting this fall makes sense.

Before you know it, backpacks will be broken in, name labels will start to peel just a little, and your child will start to settle into their new school routine. Whether they’ve just started preschool, moved up to a new classroom, or returned for another year, the first few weeks of the school year can still bring plenty of emotions, for both kids and parents.

Whether you're home for the day, looking for after-care ideas, or just trying to survive the weekend, here are 10 screen-free summer activities that are toddler-tested and parent-approved.
