Parental burnout is real. It happens when the system is overloaded with too much! We are at our wits end with too much pulling our attention in all directions, and little time for restoration. At Springwell, our intent is to provide RELIEF during this pandemic to let kids follow their huge imaginations and curiosity, and provide RELIEF to parents and give some blocks of time back to you for mental, emotional, and physical restoration.

In today's climate, we at Springwell are dedicated to ensuring that our community of parents and educators have the resources we need to stand in solidarity with our African American brothers and sisters during these trying times.

At Springwell, two of our five pillars are related to diversity and inclusion. The first being Inclusion: Finding belonging together, and the second: Global & Community Mindset. The month of May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, and it is an opportune time to share some background about what these pillars actually mean for us here at Springwell.

Too many parents have the sad misconception that we must parent perfectly. Parenting guilt sounds like a pervasive high-pitch screeching static noise you hear when the radio dial is just a bit off. It can give headaches, makes you cranky, tired, and super controlling and annoying.
