We used colorful pinwheels to practice taking a slow, deep breath in and gently blowing the air out to make them spin! 🌈💨 What a fun, hands-on way to learn how our breathing can help our bodies feel calmer.

This activity helps support:

🌬️ Deep breathing and calming techniques
🧘 Self-regulation and relaxation
🎯 Focus and concentration
💪 Impulse control and patience

Social-emotional learning is JUST as important as academic learning!

🐧🔷 Shapes, Spaces & Smart Little Penguins 🟥🐧

Our Penguins had so much fun learning about shapes while building important early learning skills! 🎨✨

We placed large shapes on the floor and challenged our Penguins to find the Magna-Tiles that matched each shape. They explored, compared, matched, moved their bodies, and used their problem-solving skills as they figured out where each piece belonged!

This activity is about so much more than learning shapes! Hands-on activities like this help support:

📍 Spatial awareness – helps children understand where objects are in relation to themselves and other objects
🧩 Problem-solving skills – encourages children to figure out which pieces belong where
🏃 Gross motor skills – encourages movement, reaching, bending, and navigating the space
🎯 Focus and concentration – supports attention as children search for matching pieces
🔢 Early math skills – builds foundations for sorting, matching, geometry, and spatial reasoning

🎣🔤 FISHING FOR LETTERS! 🔤🎣

Our Robins went fishing… for LETTERS! 🎣🪝As they fished, they practiced letter recognition, hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and concentration, all while having a fin-tastic time! 🐟

After we caught the letters, we traced and wrote our letters too!

Learning the alphabet doesn't have to happen with flashcards and worksheets! The Nest Play curriculum uses creative, hands-on ways to make learning fun, active, and engaging.❤️

🧊❄️ Our Hummingbirds are Exploring Ice! ❄️🧊

This week, our Hummingbirds have been busy exploring, discovering, and learning all about ice! 🍼👶💙

From touching the cold ice to watching it melt, our babies are using their senses to investigate this chilly experience. 🧊👀✨ They’re discovering that ice is cold!

We just love watching those little faces light up as they discover something new! 💕❄️

🎨🌈 Shower Curtain Painting 🌈🎨

Our Robins class turned a simple shower curtain into a BIG, messy colorful canvas! 🖌️✨

We got wonderfully messy as we painted with paintbrushes AND our hands! There were lots of giggles, colorful hands, and happy little artists! 😍 Our Robins had so much fun exploring colors, textures, creativity, and self-expression. 🎨💚💜💙

Messy + Creative = SO MUCH FUN! 🥰✨

🌈🍼 Little Ones, Big Beginnings! 🍼🌈

Our Hummingbirds infant program is a special place where little ones can grow, learn, explore, and feel right at home. 👶💗

We focus on meeting the individual needs of every child, while creating sweet opportunities for infants to build meaningful relationships with their teachers and begin connecting with their little friends. Through everyday experiences, our little learners are encouraged to discover the world around them and take their first steps toward becoming active members of their community.

All of this happens in a nurturing, trusting, and loving environment designed to support development across all learning domains. Most importantly, we strive to create a style of learning that truly works for each individual child. 🧸🍼💕

✨ We currently have a few spots available in our infant classrooms! ✨

🫧👣 Bubble Wrap Catwalk 👣🫧

Our Ducklings teachers taped bubble wrap to the floor and encouraged our babies to stand, step, and walk across it while trying to POP as many bubbles as possible! 💥

Not only was this SO much fun, but it was also a great way to practice balance, coordination, body awareness, and gross motor skills. And, of course, the popping sounds made it extra exciting! 😆

Who knew learning could be this POPPIN’?! 🫧💥👣❤️

🍂🐦 Our Robins are embracing all things FALL! 🐦🍂

Today, our Robins dove into a fall sensory tub and explored trays filled with natural treasures from the fall season. They had so much fun touching, scooping, discovering, and exploring the different textures, colors, and items found in nature. 🍁🌰🌿

Sensory and science activities are such a fun way for children to learn through hands-on exploration! They’re building curiosity, making observations, developing fine motor skills, new vocabulary, and discovering the world around them all while having FUN! 🍂🔎✨

A few weeks into the school year, what's new is starting to become familiar and those everyday routines are beginning to matter more than you might realize. 💚

For young children, routines are about so much more than staying on schedule. Familiar moments throughout the day can help children know what to expect, feel secure during transitions, build healthy habits, and create a stronger sense of connection and belonging.

The good news? Routines don’t have to be complicated. ✨ Getting dressed in the morning, a hug before school, talking together at dinner, or reading the same bedtime story each night can all become comforting cues children learn to count on.

At The Nest Schools, we see that same power in the classroom. Predictable rhythms give children the security of knowing what comes next while leaving plenty of room to play, explore, create, move, and discover.

As your family settles into a new school-year rhythm, remember: children need predictable parents, not perfect parents. 💚

🎨🐥Our Ducklings got creative this week!

Our Ducklings had so much fun exploring paint, color mixing, and different textures through finger painting. From squishy sensations to discovering what happens when colors come together, they were encouraged to explore with their hands, get a little messy, and let their curiosity lead the way! 💗

Activities like this help our youngest learners build sensory awareness, strengthen fine-motor skills, and begin making connections through hands-on exploration. 🌈✨

Nest Play Curriculum is growing right alongside our children!

As we enter Year 6 we’re introducing thoughtful updates designed to make purposeful play even more intentional, adaptable, and connected.

With clearer learning goals, more ways for teachers to bring activities to life, and parent-friendly activity summaries that show what children are learning along the way, these updates make Nest Play even more meaningful for teachers, children, and families.

When we understand the why behind the play, we can see just how much learning is happening in every moment. ✨

🍦💕 Celebrating the sweetest Grandparents! 💕🍦

Last Friday, we celebrated Grandparents’ Day with an extra-special Ice Cream Social! 🍨🎉 We had so much fun enjoying sweet treats, big smiles, and special moments with some of the most important people in our children’s lives.

At The Nest School, we value our grandparents so much! We are incredibly fortunate to have so many active and involved grandparents who are an important part of our school community. Their love, support and wisdom make such a meaningful difference in all of our lives.

Thank you to all of the grandparents who joined us and helped make the celebration so special. We feel so lucky to have you as part of our Nest family! 🥰💜

BIG news for The Nest Schools! ⭐🎉
Our proprietary Nest Play Curriculum, which guides learning across our schools, has received exciting recognition from not one, but TWO states!

⭐ Ohio has approved Nest Play through its Step Up To Quality program.
⭐ North Carolina has named Nest Play an approved curriculum through the North Carolina Child Care Commission and NC DCDEE.

While these recognitions come from Ohio and North Carolina, they celebrate the curriculum our children and teachers experience across The Nest Schools every day. 💚

They reinforce something we’ve always believed: play-based learning is REAL learning. Every tower built, question sparked, masterpiece created, pretend game played, and discovery made is an opportunity to build the skills, confidence, creativity, and curiosity children will carry with them for years to come. ✨

We’re incredibly proud of Nest Play, the educators who bring it to life, and this recognition of the meaningful learning happening in our classrooms every day.

New school year, new routines, and sometimes…new behaviors. 😅💛

Changes in schedules, classrooms, expectations, and everyday routines can be a lot for children to process. When children don’t yet have the words or the developmental skills to explain everything they’re feeling, those feelings can show up through their behavior instead.

So when the after-school meltdown happens or emotions suddenly feel a little bigger than usual, there may be more going on beneath the surface.

Yesterday, we talked about what to do when those tough moments get the best of us. Today, we’re looking at what those big moments might be telling us about them.

Because sometimes, big behavior is a bigger message. 💛

New routines, busy mornings, changing schedules, big feelings… back-to-school season can be an adjustment for parents, too. 💛

Sometimes, in the middle of all that change, we lose our cool. We raise our voice. We react in a way we wish we hadn’t. What happens next matters.

Taking the time to repair, to acknowledge what happened, apologize, and talk about the feelings involved shows children something incredibly important: We all have big emotions. We all make mistakes. And we can take responsibility and make things right.

As your family settles into a new school-year rhythm, remember that emotional intelligence isn’t about handling every moment perfectly. Sometimes, some of the most meaningful lessons come from what we do after a hard moment. 🪺💛

We’re back to the school year and with new classrooms, new schedules, new faces, and new routines can come some BIG feelings for children. 💛

Learning how to recognize, understand, and express those feelings is an important part of a child’s development and something we can help them practice from an early age.

Swipe through for simple ways to help your child navigate big emotions, build their emotional vocabulary, and develop skills that will support them far beyond the classroom. ➡️

Here’s to a new school year full of learning, growing, and feeling all the feelings! To read the full blog: https://thenestschool.com/blog/nurturing-emotional-intelligence-in-young-children/
