Lots of play time in the playground. Digging, pretend play, sensory, sand, and kitchen. Friends play together to pretend to dig and move dirt, pretending to take the baby to the store, pretending to cook in the kitchen. All of these areas help with communication with friends, pretend play, and creativity.

Bubbles!🫧 Children of all ages love bubbles! Children work together to chase them, they talk about the way they move, how big or small they are, talk about how many they can pop. This encourages team work, math, communication, and creativity. They love when the bubble lady comes to visit!

Before children find words, they express themselves through art. 🎨🖌️🖼️🫧
🎨 Little Picassos in the Making! 🎨
Squishing, smearing, stamping - today's sensory art wasn't just messy fun (though it was very fun). Every handprint, every truck rolled through paint, and every cardboard-tube stamp was quietly building the fine motor skills our little ones need for everything from holding a spoon to one day gripping a pencil!
When kids grasp objects, press their palms flat, and coordinate their fingers to pick up and manipulate toys, they're strengthening the same hand muscles and hand-eye coordination that support writing, buttoning, zipping, and self-feeding down the road. Sensory art is one of our favorite ways to sneak in that development while the kids just think they're having a blast with paint! 🖐️✨
Check out the video to see our little artists at work - purple paint prints, rolling truck tracks, and cardboard-tube masterpieces galore!
