🏃🏾♀️🤸🏽♂️ "Can your child jump with both feet? Can they climb? Can they balance?"
Those aren't just fun questions—they're part of the Ages & Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3), a nationally recognized developmental screening tool that helps us monitor each child's growth and development.
At C.A.R.E. Academy, we complete the ASQ-3 twice each school year for every child. Why? Because children grow so quickly, and we want to celebrate their progress while identifying any areas where they may need a little extra support.
Watching our friends jump from stepping stones, climb over obstacles, ride trikes, crawl, push, pull, and explore isn't "just recess." It's intentional learning!
These activities strengthen: 🌟 Gross motor skills 🌟 Balance and coordination 🌟 Core muscle strength 🌟 Body awareness 🌟 Confidence and independence
The ASQ looks at much more than gross motor development. It also screens for: 🧩 Communication 🧩 Fine Motor Skills 🧩 Problem Solving 🧩 Personal-Social Development
Every child develops at their own pace, and our goal is to partner with families to ensure each child is reaching important developmental milestones before kindergarten.
At C.A.R.E. Academy, we don't just care for children—we intentionally track, support, and celebrate their development every step of the way. 💜

✂️ Snip, snip... one cut at a time! ✂️
To little hands, this may look like cutting paper. To us, it's preparing for a lifetime of writing, creating, and learning.
Today our 2's and 3's were hard at work practicing their cutting skills. Learning to use scissors isn't just an art activity—it strengthens the small muscles in the hands and fingers that children need to hold a pencil, write their name, button a coat, zip a jacket, and complete countless everyday tasks.
As they cut, they're also developing: ✂️ Hand strength and coordination ✂️ Bilateral coordination (using both hands together) ✂️ Hand-eye coordination ✂️ Focus and concentration ✂️ Independence and confidence
At C.A.R.E. Academy, we don't rush the process. We celebrate every little snip because every small success is another step toward kindergarten readiness.
The skills they build today become the confidence they carry tomorrow. 💜
