Our preschoolers enjoyed a fun sensory activity making pretend donuts with shaving cream and sprinkles!
This hands-on experience encouraged creativity, fine motor skills, and imaginative play while exploring different textures and colors. 🍩
Our preschoolers at the den absolutely love dinosaurs and are always engaged and interested in continuing their knowledge of them, so we decided to create a magical dinosaur experience where they can completely immerse themselves in their learning!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of our fantastic moms!

Today we celebrate Childcare Provider Day, and I couldn’t be more proud of this incredible team.💖
For four years, these amazing early childhood educators have worked side by side, building not just a program but a true community. Their dedication, kindness, and genuine care for every child and family shines through in everything they do.
They are exceptional teachers who go above and beyond every day. The love the patience and creativity they bring into the classroom creates an environment where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to grow.
What we have here is something truly special.
Thank you for everything you do. We appreciate you more than words can express.💫☀️
Bike week with PISE is here at Raccoon Den! 🚴♀️🚴♂️
We have learned so much already! We’ve practiced balancing, gliding, shoulder checks and even the signs to look for on the road and what they mean!
🛑⚠️⛔️🚳🚦
We have a few more days left and there is no doubt that our preschoolers will be biking experts by the end of the week!
Thank you to PISE, this has been a memorable experience!

🌎 We love celebrating this beautiful earth we call home! On earth day, and every day. 🍃
We had a wonderful opportunity to spend time at Bigwood Farms with a few of earths creatures, cows & chickens.
Our preschoolers got together and made the chickens Shoofly pie, the chickens were so happy! 🥧🐓
🚀 We just had to bring all of the excitement in to our little learners and they are having a blast exploring the Artemis II space mission! We’ll learn about rockets, the Moon, and astronauts through play, stories, and imagination.
It’s a cute and exciting way to learn and dream big! 🌙✨
