Nest Day Home - Sage Hill

The young mechanics exhibited exceptional proficiency in tinkering and problem-solving, utilizing an assortment of tools to repair vehicles and motorcycles with remarkable focus and fine motor precision.

Children engaged in vibrant outdoor activities with color tubes and water, demonstrating playful learning schemas through color mixing.

Happy Mother's day! To all the incredible moms who are always there for their children, even when times are tough, Happy Mother's day!

Little Chefs: From Fine Motor Skills to Sensory Salads!
Today was a wonderful day of discovery as our little explorers transformed simple kitchen scraps into a sensory masterpiece! We began indoors by honing fine motor skills, using safety scissors to carefully chop fruit peels and scraps.
​The fun then moved outside to our sensory water station, where the children embraced their roles as "little chefs" to mix their clippings with dandelions and grass. It was a fantastic session of imaginative play and hands-on exploration that turned a "garden feast" into a rich learning experience!

Utilizing Natural Materials for Outdoor Sensory Engagement

Today, our environment was fueled by curiosity as we explored the mechanics of space travel and the building blocks of our own identities. The children dove into a multi-sensory project that blended scientific inquiry with essential fine motor development.

In our space story, the children launched a shuttle by counting together and sent astronauts to the moon. The astronauts used rovers to dig into the lunar surface and discover magical space stones. We also learned that satellites fly in space so that we can talk to people all over the world. our space story, the children launched a shuttle by counting together and sent astronauts to the moon.

Creating Swirling Galaxies
​Using vibrant chalk on our space tuff tray, the children practiced their fine motor skills by drawing expansive spirals and nebulas. They layered colors and smudged the chalk to mimic the beautiful galaxies. It was a wonderful way to explore circular motions and color blending! ​
​The highlight of our mission was connecting the stars. We talked about how ancient astronomers looked at the sky and saw patterns, then we tried it ourselves our names by connecting the stars.

Pete the Cat: Out of This World. Through an artistic process involving coloring and water mixture, children created planetary models, then further engaged in role-play as astronauts, mirroring Pete, by constructing their own spacesuits for a simulated space travel experience.
