🦷 National Children’s Dental Hygiene Month! 🦷

We are so lucky to have one of our wonderful preschool parents, Dr. Pari Shah from Shenandoah Family Dentistry, visit our classrooms to teach our little learners all about healthy teeth!

Dr. Shah made learning fun by:
📖 Reading a book about dental hygiene
🪥 Demonstrating proper brushing techniques
🍎 Showing examples of tooth-friendly and not-so-friendly foods

Thank you, Dr. Shah, for helping our students build healthy habits that will last a lifetime! 🦷✨

Understanding your preschooler is key to fostering a strong parent-child bond! ❤️ At this stage, children are developing their unique personalities, communication skills, and emotional awareness. By engaging in meaningful conversations, celebrating milestones, and recognizing their learning styles, parents can help build trust and confidence. Investing time in truly knowing your child not only supports their growth today but strengthens your lifelong connection. 💡✨ Read more on how to nurture your preschooler's development in our latest blog! https://tinyurl.com/yjaftwze

Birdwatching Fun! 🐦 In February, our classrooms are diving into the world of birds with hands-on learning. Kids are exploring feathers, learning bird calls, and enjoying birdwatching dramatic play to spark curiosity about nature. At home, build a simple bird feeder using a toilet paper roll, peanut butter, and birdseed, and track the birds that visit! It's a fun way to connect classroom lessons with family time. 🌱🪶
