We will never forget. We will do our part to foster kindness and love in the children that grace our presence everyday.

Thank you to the brave and amazing people who lost their lives on this tragic day in 2001.

Here we have a preschool kiddo working on writing their teens! We love the way he is supporting his writing hand with his left hand and keeping the paper still to get those numbers written! Excellent job!

Here we see Ms. Jessica giving a lesson to her preschoolers on a famous Montessori material, The Red Rods. This group of ten rods is the child’s first dive into the understanding of 1-10 as a physical object. Each rod is sized to the factor of 10 to show that 1 is smaller than 10 and so on..

So amazing!!!

As our LCPS kiddos head back to school in person some for the first time since the pandemic started, we are reminded and thankful for the last year of hard work, partnership, community and love. We have the best community of students, parents, and teachers!

And to those LCPS teachers and our team of educators, some kind words from someone we look up to with great fondness…

Thank you heroes..

A well deserved nap after working so hard in the classroom. How many of you want the work force to honor a 2 hour nap mid-day?

As we wrap up our second summer at Creative Gardens, we have put a new rule in place that the fewer days left of summer, the more popsicles are allowed on a daily basis. Here a Pre-K kiddo shows us that when it comes to peas, those can be spilled and left on the floor. When it comes to popsicles, never👏miss 👏 a 👏 bite 👏

Attention! Introducing Kitchen Nightmares new host, Little Richie! Despite his sweet face, our host thought this pizza “tasted like felt…it’s awful!” This was immediately followed by throwing the pizza in the garbage and ridiculing his teacher saying “oh come on!!!!!” Other words used cannot appear on our family friendly page 😉🤪🍕

This picture is everything! Why? Well it points out that this little doesn't nap! Like pretty much every single day. The point is that licensing requires a 30 minute rest period on a cot for children ages 3 and up. This means that the other 1.5 hours a kiddo is in "nap time" in most places are spent telling the child to "lay down," or "be quiet," or "go to sleep."

The only reason a teacher fights this battle is to serve their own needs. At Creative Gardens we do not force kids to nap. Here is a perfect example of a 4 year old doing amazingly purposeful work while also on his cot during nap time. This serves the CHILD. THAT is what Creative Gardens is all about!

"Self Portrait Sculptures," with playdough. Super interesting to see what the preschoolers came up with!

This is a great example of new ideas flourishing in the classroom. We allow a broad approach to learning for our students as we know they learn in such a variance of ways!

We give our teachers the freedom to innovate, try new things, and focus on the engagement of their learners. So many child cares, and school focus on the control of their children. We focus on following their lead in the exploration of our amazing world!

The Spindle Box. This is an amazing Montessori material used to correlate symbol with quantity of numbers. With 45 spindles in total being in the container, the student can identify an incorrect answer simply if there are any spindles left over at the end or there is not enough to fill all the appropriate boxes!

Love this work!
