“Soapy scientists” in the Twilight's class!!
We were ready to see what happens when we blew colored bubbles to a white canvas. We made sure to Make our hypothesis before we blew and also remembered to say “awe” our vocabulary word of the week, when we noticed something familiar happened.

Today we continued learning about “tall and short”! 📏🐸 Our friends had fun organizing the frogs from the *shortest to the tallest* and comparing their sizes. We also talked about the different colors of the frogs and practiced identifying and naming each color. 🌈✨ This activity helped strengthen our math, observation, and color recognition skills while having fun learning together! 😊💚🐸

🐾 Detective mode: ACTIVATED in Trixie’s class today! 👟✨

Our little scientists stepped into the world of tracking and navigation for science class! We created unique shoe tracks for the kids to hunt down, follow, and trace as they practiced following a trail. 🔍👣

The children had a blast using their critical thinking and visual tracking skills to spot each footprint, figure out where the path led, and follow the trail all the way to the end. It was such a fun, active way to build problem-solving, balance, and spatial awareness! 🧠💪

🙂 Big feelings and lots of squishy fun in the Sparkles class today! 🎭✨Our little learners explored social-emotional learning through a hands-on Play-Doh Feelings Faces activity! 🌈Using colorful Play-Doh, our students sculpted big smiles, surprised eyes, wiggly frowns, and silly expressions. Activities like this help children name their emotions, recognize expressions in others, and build empathy—all while strengthening those important fine motor skills in their little hands! 🧠💪Swipe through to see our mini sculptors express themselves! 📸👇What emotion face would your little one make with Play-Doh today? Let us know in the comments! 👇👇

🎨 Art meets athleticism in Scootaloo’s class today! 🖼️💪

Our busy toddlers started working on their upcoming Gallery Walk art, but with a super cool twist: Wheelbarrow Drawing! 🛒🖌️

While one teacher supported their feet, our little artists walked on their hands and used markers to paint and draw across giant sheets of paper on the floor.

This awesome, full-body activity isn’t just heaps of fun—it’s secretly a massive developmental workout! It builds core strength, upper body endurance, and hand-eye coordination, all while giving our toddlers an exciting way to explore spatial awareness and cause-and-effect through art. 🧠✨

🎨 Messy hands, happy hearts, and big creativity in Trixie’s class today! 🖌️✨

Our little artists dove into a super fun sensory art project using colorful paint and popsicle sticks! 🪵🌈

There’s nothing quite like the feel of smooth wood, squishy paint, and endless imagination coming together. The kids loved exploring different textures, mixing bold colors, and building their very own masterpiece creations. Sensory play is such an amazing way to build fine motor skills while letting their self-expression shine! 🧠💪

Take a look at our proud creators and their colorful works of art! 📸👇

📏 Who has the longest legs in Twilight’s class? Today, we found out! 🦵✨

Our class took on a fun measurement challenge today! We introduced measuring tapes, explored the difference between inches and centimeters, and then put our new skills to the test by measuring everyone’s legs.

The kids had an absolute blast comparing numbers, guessing who had the longest legs, and learning how numbers help us measure the world around us. Math is always more fun when you can apply it to yourself! 🧠📏

Check out these proud little mathematicians in action! 📸👇

✨ Straight paths, curved lines, and giant smiles! ✨

Our Sparkles class turned into mini scientists and engineers this week for a hands-on STEM project! 🧪🚗

The big question: Is it curved or straight?

Our curious thinkers got busy testing, tracing, and building to discover how different shapes change the way objects move. From rolling cars down winding tracks to sorting everyday items, they put their observation skills to the ultimate test—and blew us away with their smart predictions! 🧠💥
