We started the year by coming together in a space created just for moms — a warm, welcoming place where women can share their stories, learn from one another, and simply feel supported. Our Café de Madres gatherings are so much more than meetings. They are moments of connection, laughter, honest conversations, and community. It’s a time to talk openly, ask questions, exchange resources, and most importantly, to remember that no mom walks this journey alone.

As parents and caregivers, it’s natural to have questions about your child’s development. You may wonder, “Is it normal that my child isn’t doing this yet?”  or “Should they be talking more?”  Every child grows at their own pace, but understanding developmental milestones , early warning signs , and the resources available for support  can make a big difference in your child’s journey.
