Your little one is starting in school and is on their way to being a big kid! Discuss the ins and outs of early childhood education and raising a child who is just starting to come into who they are.
So recently I have been catching my daughter scribbling on the walls and my couch because she has just discovered "art" at her daycare. I am worried that my house will look like piece of crumbled up paper when she's done with it. I need ideas on activity tables and what she can do on them so that she doesn't use her energy toward our house walls!

I’m a Pasadena mommy needing ideas for weekend activities in Pasadena! My daughters are 3 and 5 years old. I feel like the little one is finally big enough to do more things with her sister. Any ideas for us?

My LO is transitioning from preschool to kindergarten next month. She just turned 5, and I’m concerned that she hasn’t learned how to read yet. Should she be able to read by the time she starts kindergarten? Worried she might have a learning issue or be falling behind.

Our kids are far apart in age at 3 and 10. Our oldest is making plans for summer camp, making it a very frequent topic around the house. Now our preschooler wants to go to camp, too. He’s obviously too young for overnight camps, but WDYT? Any local reccs? Part of me is excited about the alone time I’d get if I could sync up their camp schedules.

At what age do kids usually pick up on writing and spelling out their own names? My stepson seems to have it down but his twin sister, not so much. They are 4.

We’re living in the Crenshaw/Leimert Park area and are looking for some weekend activities for our son! Maybe parks? I feel like we don’t get much time outdoors lately.

My family lives in LA. We’re in the Inglewood part of the city right now. We’re looking for something to do on a weekend with my little one and I thought going to the zoo might be a nice idea! I know there are a few different options in and around the LA area. There’s obviously the LA Zoo, then there is the Santa Barbara Zoo and I believe there is one in San Diego, too? What is the difference between all of them? Is there any reason to make the drive to Santa Barbara or San Diego to go to one of those zoos, or is the LA Zoo just as good?

It’s starting to get warmer and I want to spend some time outside with my little one, but we don’t have a yard. We’re in the Lake Balboa / Reseda area. What are your favorite parks and why? Playgrounds, please!

My son has a ton of energy and I need to get him out of our tiny apartment or he’s going to start bouncing off the walls! Please help me find somewhere outdoors in the Glendale area where he (and I) can let off some steam!

I’m a Palmdale mom and am planning my daughter’s 4th birthday! Any places in the area you’ve had birthday parties at? I want something fun and easy to invite some of her daycare friends to! Also, any tips on how to do invites nowadays? Do I just send her to daycare with invites for the other kids or do I make a Facebook event?
