CHIME

Early Childhood

Cultivating Healthy, Intentional, Mindful Educators- CHIME, is an 8-week series that offers research and best practices for providing responsive care by engaging in reflective practices. Mindfulness as it applies to the early childhood setting and social-emotional development is presented along with ways to be more responsive and less reactive towards children and work challenges. Strategies are shared for incorporating mindfulness practices into daily activities as a way to facilitate and enhance educator’s abilities in maintaining a healthy sense of well-being and nurturing children’s development.

Registration is open until December 16, 2024 for the next CHIME on-line program which begins January 13, 2025

  Trees have been rapidly changing color from green to their autumn hues. Now is the time to take note of which trees would be attractive additions to your yards, whether you’re planting this fall or next spring.

 Not all trees grow well in Nebraska. Among those that do grow well here, not all trees are suitable for every space.

 One of Adams County’s Nebraska Extension Master Gardener projects, Highland Park Arboretum in Hastings, provides homeowners with a living reference of trees that  grow well in Nebraska.
