Weekly Update September 4, 2026

Friendly reminder that we are CLOSED on Monday for Labor Day. Enjoy the long weekend!

Did you know we have a different theme for each month? We do! Our themes help us organize our curriculum - our art projects will follow the theme, we read books related to the theme, and we sing fun songs related to the theme.

Here are a couple of our favorite songs about apples!

I Like Apples

Apples and Bananas

Ten Apples Up on Top - this one is a song version based on a great book!

Please feel free to enjoy these songs at home with your kids. You'll be seeing lots of apple themed art projects coming home in September.

If you call the center and we aren’t able to answer right away, please leave us a quick voicemail! During the day, our top priority is being fully present with your children—whether that’s facilitating a breakthrough during a session, providing extra hands-on support, or keeping everyone safe and engaged. We check our voicemail inbox regularly throughout the day and will get back to you as soon as our hands are free. Leaving a message helps us prioritize your request and return your call much faster than a missed call without a message. Thank you for partnering with us to keep our focus right where it belongs: on your amazing kids!

Nahemae started at Strive in April of 2018. She previously worked at Helping Hands and Whaley’s Children Center. She also worked as an intern with GHS.

In her spare time, Nahemae enjoys swimming and being with her family.

We are excited to share that our center is transitioning to iCare, a management software designed to streamline our communications, scheduling, and student records.

Over the next several weeks, our staff will be working behind the scenes to set up and update all student and family profiles. As we enter this information into the system, you may receive automated email notifications or invitations from iCare.

Please feel free to disregard these emails for now! To keep things simple and ensure everything is fully configured, we ask that you hold off on logging in or creating your account until we have completed the setup process.

Once all profiles are fully updated, we will send out an official announcement with clear instructions on how to log in, review your account, and confirm that your family's information is correct.

Thank you so much for your patience and support as we make this upgrade to better serve your family! If you have any urgent questions in the meantime, please feel free to reach out to our office managers by calling 810-344-8082 ext. 1 for Brighton, ext. 2 for Burton.

Many parents may not be aware of our social media, and we'd love for you to follow us! We share tips and tricks for families, staff birthdays and work anniversaries, and other info.
