Free workshops
MKSA is pleased to announce that we are now offering free provider workshops and free parent workshops. Our goal is to offer regular opportunities for our providers to stay current on issues while maintaining their mandatory CEU hours. We also want to connect in more ways with families--whether in our program or not--and provide information and strategies on typical childhood topics. Check our events calendar to stay up to date. Hope to see you soon!  Read more
We love our 500+ Facebook friends!
One of the most important aspects of what we do at MKSA is connect with families. Facebook allows us to share information, news and sometimes just plain fun stuff. Won't you Like us and Share our page so we can reach and connect with more families and friends? Thank you.
