Eternal Anchor’s 2026 Love Extended team arrived Saturday evening, ready for a week of learning, collaboration, and connection. Before the work began, Sunday offered time to explore La Chorera, visit the beach, and experience a little of the beauty and community of the San Quintín Valley.
Now, the team is working side by side with Eternal Anchor staff, sharing ideas, learning from one another, and strengthening the support available to children with a wide range of disabilities.
This year’s team includes occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, professional educators representing a variety of disciplines, and translators. Throughout the week, they will collaborate with our Education Services and Health & Therapy Services teams to demonstrate new techniques, explore practical exercises, and exchange strategies that can be adapted to each child’s individual strengths and needs.
This is not about bringing in a single approach or a temporary solution. Love Extended is built around partnership: combining outside expertise with the experience, relationships, and deep local knowledge of Eternal Anchor’s staff. Together, participants learn from one another and develop tools that continue to make a difference long after the week ends.
This year marks the 12th consecutive year of Eternal Anchor’s Love Extended program. Twelve years of relationships. Twelve years of shared learning. Twelve years of people bringing their skills and passion together to help create more inclusive, supportive environments where every child can participate, learn, communicate, and grow.
We are grateful to welcome this year’s team and excited for everything the week will hold. #DisabilityInclusion #OccupationalTherapy #SpeechTherapy #Education #Partnership ... See MoreSee Less

Meet Junior and Mauro.
Junior is one of our therapy horses at the ranch, helping create moments of movement, confidence, connection, and joy.
And Mauro? Mauro is retired now…but still very much part of the Eternal Anchor family.
Because around here, retirement does not mean forgotten.
It means loved.
Cared for.
Included.
These two remind us that everyone has a role to play.
Some help children grow stronger.
Some offer calm.
Some serve by simply being present.
At Eternal Anchor, the ranch is more than a place. It is a community where people and animals are known, valued, and cared for in every season of life.
We’re grateful for you, Junior and Mauro. 🐴🧡 #TherapyHorses #RanchLife #EquineTherapy #Belonging #DisabilityInclusion ... See MoreSee Less

Today, we gathered for one of our favorite traditions at Eternal Anchor’s school: our annual promotion and graduation ceremony. 🧡🎓
It was a beautiful day because every student was recognized individually for the progress they have made throughout the school year. Some milestones were academic. Some were social, emotional, physical, or personal. But every certificate represented something worth celebrating: effort, growth, perseverance, courage, and the steady support of teachers, therapists, families, and friends walking alongside each child.
Through CONAFE, our students receive official promotion to the next grade level, affirming what we believe deeply at Eternal Anchor: children with disabilities deserve access to education, high expectations, meaningful support, and the chance to be celebrated for who they are and all they are becoming.
Special thanks to Togas y Reconocimientos Lupita for providing the caps and gowns, and to our teachers and parents who sponsored the event and provided the tents, chairs, and food.
Graduation is about more than completing a school year.
It is about a child learning something new.
It is about a family seeing progress they once wondered might be possible.
It is about teachers cheering for every hard-earned step forward.
It is about a community saying, “You belong here, and your future matters.”
Today, we celebrated every student, every milestone, and every step forward as a victory for inclusion, dignity, and belonging. #Graduation #InclusiveEducation #Belonging #DisabilityInclusion ... See MoreSee Less
