📸 Little Moments, Big Memories

The Wee class is learning all about cameras this week — and what better way to document our days than with a digital camera of our very own? 📷✨

☀️TODDLERS☀️

Well this week as been a hot one so far! So we haven’t gotten to play as much as we like to outside!

So far this week in toddlers we have been working on how to walk in a line and be safe. When we take our friends outside, we always wait until a teacher tells us it is safe for us to come out. This requires using our listening ears, to following directions.

We are so proud on how fast our friends who moved up from tiny tots have been able to catch on to the toddler’s routines☺️. Thank you trusting us with your babies!

HAPPY MONDAY ☀️

The infant room got to explore some musical instruments today! 🎶🥁 They watched, listened, reached, grabbed, banged, and shook!
Instruments are SO beneficial for infants! They’re learning about sound, movement, and cause and effect while working on fine and gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, sensory development, and confidence and independence ALL at once!! + They LOVE IT!🥰🎵

Our kiddos have had such a fun week so far!
Yesterday we did a breathing exercise with the kiddos. Teaching them to breathe like a balloon. Big feels are allowed, everyone has them. Learning to take a deep breath is helping teach our toddlers to self regulate.

Today we took another walk! We absolutely love taking walks with them! Listening to what they are observing around us is amazing! To be two again and see the world though their eyes 🥰. Beyond blessed to spend time with these kiddos!

Today we spent our morning doing our good-morning songs , mixed with a little dance party! Ms. Madison even hung out with us this morning! We played with Play-dough & to finish our morning we took a nice walk!

The toddlers absolutely loved being able to get outside after all this rainy weather! Our toddlers definitely needed some fresh air today, as did us teachers! We are so thankful to get to watch these kiddos grow and thrive everyday. ❤️

Oh the sweetest babies ever!! We love nap time! And being outside.☀️😎
