October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month began in 1985 as a week-long partnership between the American Cancer Society and a pharmaceutical company. Breast cancer survivor and former First Lady Betty Ford helped launch the inaugural event, which focused on educating women and promoting mammography as a key screening tool. The campaign expanded to the entire month, and in 1992, the pink ribbon was introduced, becoming the universally recognized symbol of breast cancer awareness.
Over the decades, Breast Cancer Awareness Month has grown into a global movement. Its widespread recognition is credited with helping to increase early detection and improve treatment outcomes, which has led to a significant decrease in breast cancer mortality rates. However, the campaign is about more than just a single month; it's a critical reminder to take charge of our health year-round.
To our amazing families, thank you for being part of our Kid's Haven community. Let's use this Breast Cancer Awareness Month to celebrate resilience, honor those affected, and commit to health and hope.
Sincerely,
Missy Sjolin

Reminders
- Everyone please remember our Fall Festival at Kid's Haven 10/02 from 5pm to 7pm.
- Please complete all bus forms if your child will be taking a bus to or from Kid's Haven.
- At Kid's Haven, all our staff members have recently completed comprehensive training in best practice behavior guidance and redirection strategies. This ensures that every child in our care receives the highest quality support, fostering a safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate environment.
- STOP for school buses! As you see daily there are multiple buses dropping and picking up children at Kid’s Haven. We want to ensure safety in the parking lot. Therefore, if you see a bus in the parking lot or at the bus stop, we need you to stop your vehicle, and not move until the bus has left. Please make sure you allow enough time in the mornings and afternoons to be able to ensure our children are safe as we get them on and off buses.
- Please remember to slow down in the parking lot; there are a lot of little people walking through.
