🍀 Last Week’s Fun! 🌈

Last week we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with some fun, hands-on learning! The children practiced color matching by placing stickers on the rainbow to match the correct colors and explored color mixing to see how new colors are created.

Activities like these help strengthen fine motor skills, build color recognition, and encourage curiosity as children explore and learn through play.

It was a colorful week full of learning and a little St. Patty’s Day fun! 🍀

How are you celebrating St Patty's day?!

Last week in preschool we stepped into the wonderful world of Dr. Seuss! 📚🎨

We spent the week reading some of his classic stories and exploring the silly, imaginative characters that make his books so special. The kids had so much fun creating their own Seuss-inspired art, playing with rhymes, and diving into colorful projects that encouraged creativity and imagination.

From stripes and patterns to wacky creatures and bright colors, our classroom was filled with laughter, learning, and a little bit of Seuss-style silliness!

Books, art, and imagination make the perfect combination for preschool learning. ❤️

Sunshine, fresh air, and little explorers 🌿☀️

One of our favorite things is being OUTSIDE. We love walking through the neighborhood, looking at rocks, noticing different plants, spotting wildlife, and talking about everything we see along the way. The kids are always finding treasures and asking the best questions! 🪨🌱🐿️

Park days are the best days — climbing, running, balancing, imagining, and building strong bodies and friendships. Outdoor play isn’t just fun… it’s learning, exploring, problem-solving, and growing confidence all at once.

There is something so special about letting children experience the world around them in real time — getting a little messy, a lot curious, and completely engaged. 🌎💚

🚓🚒🦷 Community Helper Month was a HUGE hit! 🦷🚒🚓

This month we had the police come talk to the kids about safety and what it means to help our community, a dentist teach us all about keeping our teeth healthy and strong, and we even had a fire truck AND ambulance visit! 🚑✨ The lights, the gear, the questions, the hands-on learning — it was such a meaningful experience for everyone.

We are so thankful for the helpers who serve and protect our community and for giving our little learners real-life experiences they will remember! ❤️
