Toddlers are gaining independence by getting their own water. A nonprofit organization has installed automatic water dispensers and disposable cups at some of its centers. This allows pre-K children to pour themselves a drink without assistance.

The goal is to help children manage their feelings and behaviors. Further information is available about the nonprofit's efforts to support children's development. A mental health consultant will be involved in the nonprofit's work, starting in early 2025, but details about this role are limited.
