Mazel Tots is a new FREE toddler-baby & caregiver program in Savannah
There’s a new program in Savannah that encourages bonding between child and caregiver while also nurturing your little one’s emerging social and emotional development.
Mazel Tots – held at JEA Preschool in Midtown Savannah – is a fun multi-sensory experience that encourages both fine and gross motor development, socialization, and emerging language.
This program is free for the community. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Because young students may not recognize the signs of vision issues in themselves, you can help by watching for certain indicators in your child. For instance, you may notice signs of eye strain such as squinting. Here are a few other reasons to schedule an eye exam for your child:
Sensitivity to light
Sitting too close to the TV
Holding books or devices near their face
Frequent eye rubbing or blinking
Turning their head to the side to see things
Chronic redness
Aside from these symptoms, you’ll also want to be on the lookout for any school-related changes that could point to vision issues. For example, if your student is struggling with reading or seems to have a shorter-than-usual attention span, these are potential signs of eye issues that could go overlooked.
Whether your child is showing signs of vision impairment or they’re due for a routine eye exam, the eye care specialists at SouthCoast Health are here for your family. SouthCoast Health optometrists can test your child’s vision using state-of-the-art equipment and can offer a range of corrective options if needed. See providers and their locations here, or schedule an appointment by calling 912.691.3600.

We’re giving FREE TICKETS to children!
Next week, October 23-27 in Swainsboro, GA at the beautiful covered outdoor pavilion of the Georgia Sports Arena, the Lindblom family band is hosting the 3rd Annual Headin’ Home Fest!
This is a bluegrass music festival for the whole family, with fantastic music and jamming, top-of-the-line bands from all over the country, camping (RV hookups and tent sites available!), food, fellowship, and good wholesome family fun. There couldn’t be a better way to enjoy the crisp South Georgia fall weather than to celebrate with banjos, fiddles, and guitars! We want YOUR family to join us!
Bluegrass is a style of music that’s all American and all acoustic. It’s a great style to introduce young children to, as they’re naturally fascinated by live musicians.

We’re so passionate about getting young children interested in music that we’re giving away FREE TICKETS TO CHILDREN UNDER TEN! Youth aged 10-15 are also half price! 🙌

The Kody Norris Show from TN, Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road from NC, Backline from SC, and many more! See the full lineup and schedule here.
Day tickets and weekend tickets are both available, so you can choose to camp and stay the whole time, or just drive up for a day. Head over to our festival website, headinhomefest.com, to reserve your family’s tickets! If you’d like a campsite, you can reserve one there as well!
