💦☀️ Water Day was full of smiles, splashes, and so much fun! Making memories and having fun is what life is all about! 💙

Happy World Ocean Day! 🌊🦦

Today we’re celebrating our oceans, the animals who call them home, and the little learners who will help shape a brighter future.

At our school, we believe kindness extends beyond the classroom — to our friends, families, communities, and the world around us.

Looking for a simple way to celebrate with your child today? Try reading a book about ocean animals, taking a family walk to pick up litter, using a reusable water bottle, or talking about why clean water matters.

Small moments like these help children build curiosity, kindness, and care for the world around them. 💙

Smiles, laughter, and good vibes all around here at Creekstones 🌟😊🌼☮️

Summer Camp is off to an otterly great start! 🦦❤️

It’s Child Safety Week! 🛡️

Safety starts with the small things we practice every day: holding hands in the parking lot, walking feet in the classroom, kind reminders from teachers, and knowing when to ask a trusted adult for help.

We’re proud to create a safe, caring environment where children can explore, learn, and grow with confidence.

We will be closed on Monday, May 25th, in observance of Memorial Day. We look forward to seeing you when we reopen for normal business hours on Tuesday!

Today is National Day Without Child Care — a day that reminds us just how important child care is for families, children, and communities.

Our schools are open today, and we’re proud to continue supporting the families who rely on us each day. We also recognize the meaning behind this day and the awareness it brings to an important truth: child care is critical infrastructure that supports families, workplaces, and communities.

This effort also reinforces the need for greater investment in child care, so the cost of care does not continue to fall entirely on families and providers.

To our teachers and school teams: thank you for the love, patience, and care you bring into our classrooms every day. You make a difference for children and families in so many meaningful ways. 💙

Behind every bright and joyful classroom is a teacher who helps it shine.
In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, we’re celebrating the warmth, creativity, and care our teachers bring to their work. They guide, support, and uplift our children—helping them grow with confidence and curiosity.
Thank you for being the sunshine in our school! ☀️

This week, we’re recognizing Children’s Mental Health Action Week and the importance of supporting children’s emotional well-being from the very beginning.

We understand that healthy development goes beyond academics. Whole-child development means caring for children’s hearts, minds, bodies, and emotions, helping them feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.

A few simple ways families can support children’s mental health every day:
🌱 Name feelings together. Help children build emotional language by saying things like, “It looks like you’re feeling frustrated.”
💛 Create predictable routines. Consistent mealtimes, bedtimes, and transitions help children feel secure.
🧸 Make time for connection. Even a few minutes of focused, screen-free time can help children feel seen and valued.
🌬️ Practice calming strategies. Deep breaths, quiet time, movement, or a favorite comfort item can help children reset.
👂 Listen with patience. Big feelings can look like big behaviors. Staying calm helps children learn how to regulate.

This week is a meaningful reminder that supporting children’s mental health is part of helping them grow, learn, and thrive.

Let’s grow something amazing—together!
In honor of Arbor Day, we’re celebrating the importance of trees and the lasting impact they have on our environment. Just like trees, children grow stronger each day with care, support, and a strong foundation.
It’s a beautiful reminder that with the right nurturing, great things can grow.
