As we wrap up April, the Month of the Young Child, it’s a time to reflect on the essential role that communities play in shaping the future of our children. The familiar adage, “it takes a village to raise a child,” serves as a reminder that fostering an environment where children can thrive requires the collective efforts of everyone. From access to quality education and healthcare to safe spaces for play and social development, a strong community can be the foundation for a child’s success.

Each April the Bay Times Record Observer joins Queen Anne’s County in recognizing the Month of the Young Child. As a community, we must foster a supportive environment to help our children thrive. It is our responsibility to help ensure their well-being. These young people must have good mental, physical, emotional, social, and intellectual health. They need and deserve opportunities, a caring community to help them, when those opportunities may not be available at home or at school.

ANNAPOLIS — The 16th annual Bosom Buddies Ball was held Saturday, March 29, at the Westin Hotel in Annapolis. The event, which began in 2007 at the Chesapeake Beach Club on Kent Island, was founded by the late Susan Ponchock. To accommodate more attendees and expand its fundraising efforts, the Ball moved to the Westin a few years ago. It has become one of the largest single fundraisers in the immediate area.

We all want what’s best for our children. We want them to grow into happy, successful adults. And, increasingly, we understand that the early years of a child’s life are critical for their development. In Queen Anne’s County, we choose April to celebrate the Month of the Young Child — the years when their brains are developing at an extraordinary pace and their personalities are taking shape.
