❄️ A little winter magic ahead ❄️

On Monday, our Infant and Junior Toddler friends will be heading out for a special sleigh ride experience with ~ Country Sleigh Rides ~ in the Irishtown area! This gentle winter outing gives the children a chance to take in the sights, sounds, and movement of the season.

The forecast as of right now is that it will be -5 / -12 and snowing. Be sure to bundle those babies and bring extra cozy clothes encase we get a little wet playing and exploring the petting zoo!

✨ Holiday creativity in full swing ✨

Over the past few weeks, our classrooms have been busy exploring the season through hands-on crafts and creative invitations.

We love seeing how every child brings their own personality into their work. These moments aren’t just about the finished craft, but about the conversations, problem-solving, and joy that happened along the way.

Thank you to our educators for creating meaningful opportunities for creativity, and to our families for celebrating these special moments with us 🤍🎄
