Families can get into the full swing of spring with the May issue of Connecticut Parent Magazine, which is packed with a variety of family-friendly events to celebrate Mother’s Day, Memorial Day or simply the return of beautiful weather. A special nursing section honors Connecticut’s wonderful nurses in partnership with the Nightingale Awards, while a spotlight on KinderCare provides a glimpse into the enriching educational foundation of KinderCare Learning Centers. As May is Foster Care Month, we’ve included a story on what you can do to make a difference for children in the foster care system. Our May issue also features a humorous take on mothering and tips on choosing both a camp and an independent school for your child.

Happy Mother’s Day, and have a great month!
