Where It All Begins

A joyful morning for expectant moms, babies, and young children from birth to five, and for the families who love them.

A Morning to Celebrate Our Youngest Children

Hosted in partnership with Opportunity Early Childhood Center

A child’s first five years shape everything that follows, and it is the small, everyday moments that matter most. A shared smile, a comforting response when a baby cries, the ordinary back-and-forth of daily care—this is what builds a strong, resilient child.

Celebrate Babies is a morning to honor that work and the families doing it. Join Center for Child Counseling for a keynote from a beloved parenting educator and resource tables that help new and expecting families get the best possible start.

Caley Kukla, M.Ed.

Parent Educator & Child Development Specialist

Caley is a parent educator, child development specialist, and Certified PLAY Project Instructor who has spent more than fifteen years helping families understand their children through the lens of neuroscience, attachment, and connection.

After experiencing how challenging motherhood could feel even with two degrees in child development, she founded Play With Purpose in 2016 to give other parents the knowledge and tools she knew could make a difference. That work grew into the COR Parenting Community, where she helps parents make small, powerful shifts toward calmer homes and deeper connection.

She holds a Master’s in Early Childhood Special Education from the University of Florida, has specialized experience supporting autistic children, and brings the real-life perspective of raising three boys to her work with families.

At Celebrate Babies, Caley will show how the smallest interactions—the ones that happen dozens of times a day—are exactly what build a child’s resilience and lifelong well-being.
