Embracing Diversity Through Stories: Celebrating Pride at Pine Village Preschool

Children's Books for a Pride Month Reading List

At Pine Village Preschool, we believe in the power of stories to teach important life lessons. This Pride Month, we’re excited to celebrate diversity, one of our core values, through a special selection of children’s books. These books entertain and impart valuable lessons about acceptance, optimism, and the unique voices each of us brings to the world. We encourage you to read these books with your children at home!

Below are three wonderful books our educators have put together to celebrate Pride Month to spark important conversations with children.

 Kids & Company’s Pride Month Reading List 2024:

 It’s OK to be Different” by Sharon Purtill

In this book, children will enjoy the fun and clever rhymes as the bright and cheerful illustrations draw them in. “It’s OK to be Different” is a delightful read for both children and adults as it delivers the message that kindness to those who are different resonates deeply with the spirit of Pride Month, encouraging empathy and understanding among our young readers. The engaging text and vibrant artwork work together to create a delightful reading experience that captivates audiences of all ages, leaving the important message: “You should always be kind to those who are different from you because, to them, you are different too.”

Hope is a Rainbow” by Hoda Kotb

In “Hope is a Rainbow,” children are introduced to the power of dreams and a positive outlook. Reading this beautifully illustrated story together is an amazing way to teach even the youngest readers to reach for their dreams, whether they are as vast as the night sky or as simple as enjoying a bowl of purple ice cream. The story contains important lessons about optimism, and through its enchanting narrative and illustrations, children learn about the importance of believing in themselves and the power of dreaming big – exactly as they are. This book is a perfect reminder that every child is special, can dream big, and that their dreams are valid and worth pursuing.

Your Special Voice” by Temi Adamolekun

Through beautiful, lyrical rhyme, this story encourages even the youngest readers to reflect on what’s important to them. “Your Special Voice” introduces children to the empowering idea that their unique perspectives and dreams matter. The rhythmic text and poignant themes inspire children to think about their values and aspirations, fostering a sense of self-awareness and motivation. This book is a wonderful way to highlight the importance of self-expression and individuality during Pride Month.

 Why These Stories Matter:

By celebrating Pride Month with these books, we provide a great learning opportunity for our children to embrace diversity and understand the importance of kindness to oneself and others, hope and optimism, and self-expression. Each story opens the door to meaningful discussions about accepting and celebrating differences, fostering a sense of community, and encouraging children to be true to themselves.

This Pride Month, let’s cultivate a supportive and inclusive environment where every child’s uniqueness is celebrated through these stories. Let’s make this Pride Month a time of learning, growth, and a joyous celebration of who we are!

Pine Village Referral Program

Increased Referral Bonus from June 1st – September 30th, 2024!

We are very excited to share that from June 1st through September 30th, we are increasing our referral bonuses for BOTH the referring family and the new family starting care! As a valued member of our community, your recommendations mean the world to us and help us grow.

For every new child you refer who attends care for a minimum of 3 days a week, both parties will receive a $500 credit.  For a child referred who attends full time (more than 3 days per week), both parties will receive a $1000 credit. New families must begin care before September 30, 2024 to receive the promotion*. 

Please note: Only families who submit new referrals from June 1st through September 30th for families who have not yet inquired with Kids & Company, are eligible for the increased referral bonuses. These referral credits can only be applied to monthly fees, and do not convert to cash payments.

*For subsidy referrals, parent has to have a co-pay amount and the referral bonus can only be applied to both parties involved for a max of three months. (See Terms & Conditions below)

Spread the Word, Get a $100 or $200 Bonus!

People trust the opinions and recommendations of friends, co-workers and neighbours. That’s why we’d love your help to spread the word about us. When someone you know registers at one of our centres, we’ll show our appreciation by giving you a $100 or $200 credit (depending on the number of days the referred child attends per week).

How it Works:

Fill out the form with your information and the information of the new family you are referring. Once that family starts care at ANY Kids & Company location in the United States, or one of the child care providers that are part of the Kids & Company family of brands, you will receive a $100 or $200 credit per registered child toward your next month’s tuition. If the child you refer attends part-time (1 to 4 days/week), you will receive a $100 credit. If they attend full-time (5 days/week), you will receive a $200 credit.

The Details:

The referred family can register at any of our Kids & Company locations in the United States, or one of the other child care providers that are part of the Kids & Company family of brands; Tyke Town, ABC Kiddie Kampus, Pine Village Preschool, Apple Hill Academy, and ABC Daycare & Learning Center. This program does not apply to emergency back-up care. You can refer more than one family. You will receive a credit for each child referred and registered once they begin care. These referral credits can only be applied to monthly fees, and do not convert to cash payments. This referral program offer is for new registrations only (it cannot be applied retroactively). This referral program cannot be used in conjunction with any local referral offers that may already exist and is not applicable to siblings of children who are in, or have been in, our care.

Employee Referral Program

At Kids & Company, we are also always looking for excellent educators to add to our team. A similar referral bonus exists for employees who are referred by Kids & Company families. For all employee referrals, please contact recruitmentus@kidsandcompany.com.

Please note: Only families or employees who have not yet inquired with Kids & Company, are eligible for the increased referral bonuses. These referral credits can only be applied to monthly fees, and do not convert to cash payments.
