🐣 Easter Egg Hunt at CAHF

We’re excited for our in-school Easter Egg Hunt this Friday, April 3 from 9:00–11:00 AM!

It’s always a fun morning filled with excitement, laughter, and plenty of eggs. We can’t wait to see the children enjoy this special tradition together.

☀️ Summer Is Closer Than You Think

We know it still feels like spring, but summer planning is right around the corner.

Summer Camp registration opens April 13, and we’re looking forward to another season of engaging activities, structured fun, and great experiences for our school-age students.

More details coming soon!

Language development starts long before children are reading.

Through conversation, storytelling, songs, and guided interaction, children are constantly building vocabulary and learning how to express themselves clearly. These early communication skills are a key part of long-term academic success.

📣 GA Pre-K Spots Still Available

We still have a limited number of GA Pre-K spots available for this August.

Our program is designed to prepare children academically, socially, and emotionally for a strong transition into elementary school, all within a structured and supportive environment.

If your child is approaching Pre-K age, now is a great time to plan ahead.

Confidence doesn’t come from getting everything right. It comes from trying, practicing, and trying again.

In our classrooms, children are encouraged to try new things, solve problems, and keep going even when something feels unfamiliar or challenging. With guidance and support from their teachers, they build confidence step by step.

That’s how confidence grows: one experience at a time.

Children are naturally curious. One of the most important things we can do as educators is protect and encourage that curiosity.

Questions like “Why?” and “How?” are the beginning of learning. In our classrooms, children are encouraged to explore, ask questions, and discover how the world around them works.

Those early moments of wonder are where a lifelong love of learning begins.

The Real Story of Patrick (Not the One Most People Know) ☘️

St. Patrick’s Day is usually about green beer, lucky charms, and the legend that Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland.
But the real story is much better.

Patrick was born in Britain in the late 300s. His father was a Christian, but Patrick himself admits that as a young man he didn’t really care about God.

Then everything changed.

At about 16 years old, Irish raiders kidnapped him and sold him as a slave in Ireland.

For six years he lived alone in the mountains as a shepherd.
Cold.
Hungry.
Isolated.

It was there that Patrick truly turned to God.

He wrote that he prayed dozens and even hundreds of times a day, even in the snow and freezing rain.
God changed him there.

Eventually Patrick escaped and returned home to Britain. His family begged him never to leave again.

But Patrick later had a vision where he heard the voice of the Irish people calling him back.

So the man who had once been their slave returned to Ireland…
Not with revenge.
But with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Patrick spent the rest of his life preaching, planting churches, and bringing Christianity across Ireland.

The real Patrick wasn’t a mythical hero.

He was a sinner saved by grace, a former slave who forgave his captors, and a missionary who brought the gospel to a nation.

That’s the real story.
Not luck.
Not myths.
Just the transforming power of Christ. ✝️☘️

☘️ Don’t Forget Your Green!

Tuesday is St. Patrick’s Day, and we’re excited to celebrate with a little extra color in our classrooms.

Students are welcome to wear green on Tuesday as we enjoy a fun day together.

☀️ School-Age Summer Camp Is Coming!

While the school year is still in full swing, summer will be here before we know it. Our School-Age Summer Camp will offer a fun and structured environment with activities designed to keep children engaged, active, and learning throughout the summer months.

More details are coming soon, but families interested in summer plans are encouraged to start thinking ahead.

📣 Preschool Spaces Still Available

We still have a few openings in our Preschool program, and now is a great time to schedule a visit.

If you’ve been considering CAHF, we would love to show you what makes our school community special.

📞 Call (770) 345-2929 to schedule your tour.

The early years are when children begin developing the habits that shape how they approach learning for the rest of their lives.

Listening carefully, asking questions, solving small problems, and working alongside others are skills that begin forming long before elementary school. At CAHF, our classrooms are designed to support that growth every day through structured routines, purposeful play, and thoughtful guidance.

Outdoor play at CAHF is more than recess.

Climbing, balancing, running, and navigating structured play equipment all strengthen coordination and resilience. Fresh air, movement, and guided exploration are essential parts of how young children learn best.

And yes, they have a lot of fun doing it.
