“Children learn by doing, and doing is noisy, untidy, messy, and often unpredictable.”

If we keep students out of the mud, we’re holding them back from so many learning opportunities. Mud is such a valuable open ended learning tool for our students. They can create, imagine, explore sensory experiences, and have FUN when allowed the chances to get messy.

Research shows that mud contains something called Mycobacterium, which prompts the brain to release serotonin, which boost mood and eases anxiety.

AKA: mud literally causes happiness! ☺️

Hands, faces, and clothes are washable; and the moments are unforgettable 💛

Thursday was Joy’s official first day of school! 🐾💡💛The students and Joy had the best day together. She joined the classrooms for reading stories, playing, outdoor time, and lots and lots of belly rubs. Watching the children meet, connect with, and care for Joy was so heartwarming. The smiles, giggles, and excitement were contagious, but even more meaningful was the connections that were formed.

Joy will be a beloved friend to all. We hope that these new bonds will help our children build empathy, compassion, confidence, patience, self-regulation, and a deeper understanding of how to care for others. 💛Welcome Joy!

We have had a fun filled last few days of the school year with our students. Last night’s Graduation and End of Year Celebration event was beautiful all around; from the weather to the smiles on the students’ and families’ faces. We are so incredibly proud of all of our students and can’t wait to see all the amazing things they accomplish in the years to come. Watching their friendships flourish has been such a joy.

Once again, thank you to our AMAZING families for your support and trust in us with your child’s care and education this past year. 💛Our hearts are so full after being able to spend the time learning and growing with your children.

We also want to thank The Coney Guys of Elkton , Savor Street, and Extreme Freeze for coming out to our event and serving up such amazing food and treats for the kids and families.

Have a great Summer! ☀️🕶️💡

Officer Rothe and Officer Flores made a visit to Little Minds with their patrol cars today! 🚔 Officer Rothe gave a presentation on the 5 rules of safety and what the officers wear on them. Following the presentation students got to explore the patrol cars and even got to take turns sitting in the driver seat! Thank you so much Officer Rothe and Flores for taking the time to come teach our students important lessons in safety!

Say hello to our 10 feathery classmates! 🐣🐥Today we voted on and finalized the names of our new friends. We also had them join us for free play time! It’s been so much having them with us and the students are doing such a great job of taking care of them, being gentle with them, and making sure they have everything they need. I was told today exactly when they ran out of food! ☺️
