Charles Towne Child Development Center

Love is in the air at CTCDC!! ❤❤❤

During the Five Senses week, we explore our senses in many different ways! The taste test always brings some great expressions! This week the 4k class also celebrated the 100th day of school!

Polar animal week included learning about how whales stay warm in the icy water, playing polar games, chilly sensory tables, waddling like penguins, fishing like a polar bear and eating penguin treats!!

Mitten week was cozy and fun! ❄️☃️

Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, last week we learned about his peaceful messages and sweet dreams. We had a pajama party, learned about nocturnal animals and dissected an owl pellet!

Bear week is always a hit!! We had bear snacks, ate like bears did lots of fun art projects and sensory activities, went on a scavenger hunt, enjoyed a dramatic play, did a Storywalk and had a teddy bear picnic!!

Happy birthday, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr! We hosted a collection for food and personal items to be donated to various Blessing Boxes around Charleston and thanks to the incredible generosity of our CTCDC family- we were able to STUFF 3 blessing boxes ❤️❤️❤️

Throwback Thursday- Santa Style!

Polar Express and Reindeer week included a dramatic play, an awesome sleigh made by Ms. T, presents for the 4K class from Ms. Tatum and lots of fun and excitement!!

Last week we learned about the Gingerbread Man and the Grinch! The children decorated gingerbread houses and we even made them into gingerbread cookies! The mean old Mr. Grinch wrecked havoc on the school, but the children loved on him and his heart grew two sizes!!

I am so grateful for this bunch of ladies!! 🎄❤️

We noshed our way through the week learning about Hanukkah- Latkes, Hanukkah gelt and Sufganiyot, oh my!

We are SO thankful for our little turkeys! We had a great week celebrating and learning about Thanksgiving! Our outdoor feast was the best one yet and we even were able to do a field trip to Charles Towne Landing!

Harvest Time and Scarecrows was a super fun week! Husking corn, corn and hay sensory tables and a storywalk!

Last week was all about the body and germs! The children made soap, met a new friend Sneezy who showed them the correct way to sneeze and enjoyed a doctor dramatic play!

Happy Halloween from CTCDC!! 🎃

We learned all about fire safety! Thank you to the St. Andrew's Fire Department for coming out and doing a demonstration for our children!

Our kids are out of this world!!

How 'bout them apples??

Farm week is always a favorite! Lots of messy, fun activities including milking a cow and making butter with a real butter churn!!

Kicking off the first few weeks of school right! Back to school, shapes and colors and nursery rhymes!

We were so happy to sneak in a graduation ceremony for these sweet children a few months ago!! Congratulations to Benjamin, Avery, Edward, Liam and Owen- we already miss you and know you will be amazing in Kindergarten!

Our annual end of the summer carnival was so much fun!! It was certainly a different summer, but we're so grateful we got to celebrate with our little clowns 💓🤡💓

Love where you live!! We learned all about our beautiful city and ate our way through the week! Pineapple, cheesy grits, red rice and sausage and "pluff mud"!!

So happy to be celebrating our third anniversary owning the school! We're incredibly grateful for amazing teachers, parents and our little loves!! 💓💓💓

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!!🍦

Sports week was a home run!! The kids always have a blast and let out LOTS of energy!! ⚽️🏀⚾️🎾

This summer is flying by! We celebrated the Fourth of July, had some camping fun and had a regular hoedown!

We've been having so much fun since we reopened! Under the Sea, Pirates and Mermaids and Watermelon and Blueberries including a field trip to Champney's Blueberry Farm!

We were closed during teacher appreciation week, but our parents still wanted to shower us with love and goodies!! We are so lucky to have such an amazing group of parents- thank you for the amazing lunch, gift cards, and goodies!!

Sad we couldn't be together for teacher appreciation week, but we're so happy to open back up on MONDAY!!
