🎬✨ Super exciting news!

Guess what? Our **Fall 2026 screening schedule** for *Make a Circle* is here!

We are thrilled to wrap up our Maryland 2026 tour with three incredible stops:
📍 University of Maryland Eastern Shore
📍 La Plata
📍 Montgomery College – featuring a special screening presented entirely in Spanish!

If you missed one of our previous screenings, this is your chance to join us. Together, we'll experience a powerful documentary that brings our community together to reflect, connect, and advocate for what matters most, our youngest children.

While *Make a Circle* is about children, it is designed for adult audiences, including families, early childhood educators, community members, and advocates. It offers an opportunity to come together, have meaningful conversations, and strengthen our collective commitment to making high-quality early childhood programs accessible and affordable for every family.

Children deserve it. Families deserve it. Educators deserve it.

We hope you'll join us as we continue building a stronger, more supportive early childhood community across Maryland. 💛
