At Tikes and Giggles we focus on academics and SO much more!!

This is our ✨10th year✨ and we are excited! We are taking everything we already love about our curriculum and turning up the notch!! 🔥

More hands on learning. More real life experiences. More exploring, creating, playing and discovering. More opportunities for kids to learn while actually having FUN! 🤩

Because preschool is more than just getting ready for kindergarten and abcs. It’s where children become confident, capable, curious and find a LOVE for learning. 💪🏼

Our 10th year is going to be a big one and I cannot wait to show you what we have planned! ❤️

Tikes and Giggles- where children still learn as kids 🙌🏼

We love this family! We go to their dairy every year for a field trip and it’s the highlight of the year! 🐮🩵

When you have questions about dairy farms, go to a direct source! 🐮🥛🧀

Like Fitzgeralds Dairy Farm here in Duchesne County! This multi-generation dairy family doesn’t just work in the industry, they were raised in it. They know their milk and know their animals. Through daily testing, regulations, science and nutrition, cow health, and inspections, the Fitzgeralds know how to produce high quality milk. Cows are cared for daily and land is managed with the future in mind. They produce milk for families statewide, and provide a quality they’d even give their own family.

Every licensed dairy operates under strict regulations designed to protect food safety and maintain trust. If there is even the tiniest trace of anything in their milk that shouldn’t be there, it’s rejected and every last drop is dumped out. Dairy farmers then get a hefty fine, so not only do they not make money off the milk, they lose even more paying their fine.

The Fitzgeralds family knows that safety matters for them, but especially for you and their animals.

There’s so many myths going around about dairies that were started by people who have most likely never been on a dairy farm and seen the work firsthand. If you want real answers, talk to the families living it, not the ones guessing at it.

Dairy families aren’t hiding anything. Most would LOVE to answer all your questions!

So go ahead!

What do YOU want to know about where your milk comes from?

I just watched the first preschool class of Tikes and Giggles graduate 6th grade!! Each student excelled and their entire grade beat both the district and state scores! They are amazing people, and I can’t see where the next chapter of their life takes them! CONGRATULATIONS!! 🥳

As we come to a close this year, my heart is so full! I am blessed to have many of my students for 3 years in our program before they go on to kindergarten! 🌱

We create a little family, their parents become my friends. I am so grateful for all the incredible people that make Tikes and Giggles what it is! 🌷

We start every day outside, weather permitting! It’s been a beautiful week with so many bugs to find, mud kitchens to create, and imagination mixed with science to play!

❤️Every month there’s at least one class where parents get to be part of the journey!

💙 Parents come on every field trip, an they’re encouraged to be involved by joining us in the activities and discovery as we go!

Students have greater success in life when parents are involved and show school and activities are important.

We had another field trip today! What better way to teach about geology, erosion, and even water systems than at the lake itself!

The power of play is magical, and more can be taught through one hour of play than a full day of worksheets. These are some objectives we had, just to name a few 😉☀️

1. Practice using fine motor skills while digging with shovels and scooping materials.

2. Explore how water moves through different paths and changes the environment around it.

3. Compare and sort rocks by size, shape, texture, and color.

4. Observe how strong moving water can shape land, carry objects, and create pathways.

5. Predict which toy boats would move faster or slower in water and test ideas through play.

6. Develop early problem-solving skills while building rivers, dams, and water systems together.

7. Strengthen teamwork skills by sharing tools, taking turns, and working toward a common goal.

8. Build communication skills by discussing ideas, observations, and discoveries with peers.

9. Learn the importance of water for people, animals, plants, and everyday life.

10. Practice scientific observation by noticing changes in water flow, speed, and direction.

11. Explore cause and effect through vinegar and baking soda volcano experiments.

12. Use descriptive language to explain textures, movements, and reactions seen during activities.

13. Strengthen gross motor skills through carrying, digging, pouring, and moving around outdoor terrain.

14. Encourage creativity and imagination while designing rivers, lakes, and water pathways.

15. Develop early engineering concepts by testing how to redirect or control water flow.

16. Practice measurement and comparison vocabulary such as bigger, smaller, heavier, lighter, faster, and slower.

17. Increase curiosity and confidence through hands-on exploration in nature.

18. Learn basic safety and responsibility around water environments.

19. Build persistence by trying new ideas when structures or systems did not work the first time.

20. Foster appreciation for nature and outdoor learning through sensory-rich experiences at the lake.

We love going on field trips! What our children experience now, whether they remember or not, truly ripples through their entire lives. Give them hands on exploration, get them outside the classroom, and let them experience real life! Enroll today by commenting below or dm me before spots are gone! 🩵🌱
