Clifton Preschool

We hosted our Pre K Graduation Breakfast this morning …. A new Clifton School tradition that replaces the graduation ceremony of years gone by.
It was casual, it was fun, and honored our graduate and her parents, her teacher and her classmates, in a fitting way.

Letting nature teach our kids cause and effect 🐇
We planted the seeds, watched them grow and now momma bunny has moved her babies into the middle of our sunflower patch.
We believe it’s important to instill a respect for the world around us, in our kids.

MOTHERS DAY TEA PARTY 2026
We had so much fun celebrating our Clifton Moms today!!!
Thank you for joining us 💐
We hope you all have a wonderful Mothers Day on Sunday.

We’re prepped and ready to celebrate our AMAZING Clifton Teachers next week, during Teacher Appreciation Week 2026 🍓

Our Preschool and Pre K class began their Garden Journals last week.
Each week we observe our garden and draw what we see.
Outdoor learning has so many benefits for children.

We wrapped up this week’s learning unit - In The Garden, by planting some bulbs, sunflowers 🌻 and wildflowers.
We will spend the summer tending our garden and watching our flowers grow

We have sprouts 🌱 ….. our microgreens gardens are growing!!!

We’re growing Microgreens 🌿
Join us by checking in and watching them grow.

Our Learning Unit this week - “In The Garden” 🪴
Today was Worm Day …. Our Clifton Kids got to touch, examine and learn about earthworms.
Their lifecycle, what they eat, and why they are so good for our gardens.
We then released them into our grow box, to work their magic.
When children are given every opportunity to experience hands on learning - a lifelong love of learning develops.

Unplanned opportunities to learn are all around us 🐸
Today, while preparing our growing box for next week’s Learning Unit “In The Garden”, we met a new friend.
What a wonderful opportunity to study the toad, talk about why he might have chosen the bag of moist, cool soil to live in, and look at what he might have been finding to eat in that bag of soil 🐜🐛🕷️
