Growing curiosity, one silkworm at a time 🐛
Our Ya Ya learners have been caring for and observing our silkworms as they grow and change each day. Through this real life experience, children practiced curiosity, responsibility, and gentle observation while learning about living things and the natural world.

Happy Spring! 💐
Our Ya Ya learners took a special field trip to the grocery store to pick out fresh flowers before creating their own beautiful bouquets back in the classroom. From choosing colorful blooms to arranging each stem with care, this hands-on experience encouraged creativity, decision-making, and fine motor skills while celebrating the beauty of spring! ☀️
Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms! 💐
Thank you for the love, patience, and joy you bring into your children’s lives every single day. We are so grateful to partner with you in helping our little learners grow. ❤️
Energy to burn, smiles all around 🤸♀️
Our indoor gym time gives children the space to move, explore, and build confidence through play. From climbing to balancing to jumping, every moment helps strengthen growing bodies and minds.
Picture Day at Ya Ya! 📸
So many big smiles, silly faces, and sweet moments captured all in one day. These little snapshots hold so much personality and joy!
We’re actively getting ready for our summer program! In one of the sessions, children will explore ocean life and learn about the fascinating creatures found in an aquarium. To bring this experience to life, our Education Director visited the world-renowned Oceanarium in Singapore to film educational videos that we’ll share with our students.
We’re excited for our learners to discover ocean life in a whole new way!
Our Weather Topic Showcase gave families a glimpse into everything our Ya Ya learners explored throughout this topic🌧️☀️ From sunny days to rainy experiments, the children shared their discoveries, projects, and growing understanding of the world around them. It was a joyful opportunity to celebrate their learning together!
With the help of our amazing families, children explored cultures from around the world, learning Hebrew, celebrating Holi with color, creating traditional Chinese style masks, and more.
Each activity opened the door to new languages, traditions, and ways of seeing the world, helping children build curiosity, respect, and appreciation for others 💫
So many cultures, so many stories shared in our classrooms! 🌍
Our spaces were filled with the love and traditions of our families as parents and grandparents joined us to share pieces of their culture. From folding dumplings to crafting beautiful Korean fans to laughing together during a playful April Fools’ game, every moment was hands on, joyful, and full of connection.
Moments like these help children build meaningful connections to the world around them! ✨

A little sunshine made our colors shine even brighter 🌈
Our class created beautiful rainbow suncatchers using colorful cellophane, exploring how light shines through and transforms each piece into glowing shades. When we took them outside, the sunlight brought their creations to life, inspiring even more creativity as they drew their own vibrant rainbows!

Looks like snow, tastes like a treat! ❄️
As part of our weather unit, children explored how something can look like snow but be something completely different. In this special activity, each class made their own blueberry “ice cream.""
They mashed soft Chinese yam, mixed in milk and a touch of sugar, and added blueberries and watched the texture transform into something that looked just like fluffy snow.
A fun and surprising way to connect food, texture, and weather while building fine motor skills and sensory awareness 🫐
