When your teacher stops by your house to pick up the small gifts you made for Supa and Camillo, you know you’re part of the most special preschool and Kindergarten community. The TPK team leaves on Sunday for their mission trip to Columbia. We pray for safe travels, an impactful visit, and that Jesus moves hearts and minds towards Him during this visit.

Lots of lightbulbs went off last week during STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) camp! The camper’s curiosity fueled their learning and discovery all week long and it was exciting to watch! 💡

Our week 1 summer campers made passports and traveled through God’s beautiful world last week. They learned so much about other cultures and traditions with a total hands on experience. Let’s hear it for our teachers & staff who did the most amazing job creating an incredible cultural scene that truly inspired imaginations to come alive.

We’re so grateful for God’s blessings He showered on our preschool and Kindergarten this year. Thank you to our teachers, staff, and loving families for making it such a memorable and impactful year. We hope you have a blessed summer!

Working on our fine motor skills by creating coral reefs! 🪸🐠 These small movements come so naturally to most people that we usually don’t think about them. But fine motor skills are complex. They involve a coordinated effort between the brain and muscles. They’re built on the gross motor skills that let us make bigger movements, like running or jumping.

Today is the day! 50% back to TPK at &pizza at the Pickett location on Main Street in Fairfax. We hope to see you there! 🍕

Hello, last Monday of the school year! We hope everyone has a bouncing good time this week as we wrap up what has been an incredible year at TPK!

How amazing are these photos from the 3’s class and their Oceans Unit?! They used the theme to review their five senses, talk about keeping our beaches and oceans clean, did an experiment about water density with salt water, sorted shells by size and used magnifying glasses to see similarities and differences between shells. They also made a jellyfish craft! Talk about making a splash! 🐬

Bubbles of fun so far this week! Did you hear about the moon bounce today? If not, be sure to ask your littles how high they jumped!

We hope you all had a joyous Mother’s Day weekend! Here are a few photos of our special event that our Kindergarten class puts on for their moms each year. The kids gave their moms massages, painted their nails, made necklaces, bedazzled flip flops and enjoyed a breakfast treat.

🦸🏼‍♀️ TEACHER 🦸🏻‍♀️Because SUPERHERO isn’t an official job title. Teacher appreciation week comes to an end, but the love that our teachers felt will last forever. Have some
photos to share? Send them in a message and we will showcase some more memories of Teacher Appreciation week in the days to come.

Come and join Fiona and Vicki tomorrow, Wednesday, May 10th, and gain some practical tips to encourage your child’s spiritual development. Morning only at 9:15 in person in Common Grounds. Light refreshments served.
Developing spiritually empowered children:
- What are spiritual developmental norms in preschool children?
- How do we encourage children in their pursuit of Jesus?
- How do we teach children biblical truths?
- How do we empower children to connect with God and experience His presence?

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week here at TPK! We are incredibly grateful for all our teachers and the effort, time, and love they pour into their students. They are the hands and feet of Jesus that your children see every day they are here, and we're thankful for their faithful kingdom service here at TPK.

Art week brought works by Henri Matisse, Jackson Po***ck and Claude Monet. Some students also created still life of daffodils. The hallways at TPK are beaming with color and originality!

As a reminder, there will be no school tomorrow as teachers are facilitating parent/teacher conferences. We trust this will be a fruitful time for all as you learn more about your child and all they are learning and experiencing here at TPK.

🍕 20% back to TPK 🍕Community Night - All day, TODAY! Tuesday, April 25th. Enjoy a lunch, dinner, or afternoon snack at MOD Pizza today!

Kindergarten & Pre-K had a TPK alumni mystery reader last week. There’s something super special about coming back to the place where you first learned this skill and sharing it with the children who are now doing the same!

They’re building muscles in their fingers and hands and don’t even know it! Learning to cut using scissors develops your child’s fine motor skills and coordination. Because they are developing muscles they haven’t used in this way before, it requires lots and lots of practice.

Everybody’s excited for parachute weather!

Let’s talk fostering independence in your child! Tomorrow is Practical Parenting at 9:15am in the Common Grounds and 7:30pm on Zoom. Join Fiona as she shares some practical ideas that you can use to help your child know they can be and feel successful. We’ll also hear how to manage emotions, and what to do when you hit roadblocks. We hope to see you there!

Spring break is here! The school and office will be closed April 3rd - 10th. May you be blessed with fun memories, extra time together, and a joyous Easter celebration.

Our Frog’s class thanked God for His great protection and prayed for safety and love for all children at school this morning. ❤️

Our next TPK Community Night is this Friday, March 31st. Whether you are getting ready to head out of town for spring break or soaking up the free time at home, enjoy the opportunity to let someone else cook and clean up, while you enjoy some quality Friday night family time together.

A fan favorite came back to our TPK campus this week! Firefighter Shane is always a big hit and teaches us so much about fire safety. Be sure to ask your children what they learned! 🚒

Yesterday the Upper Room was transformed into a race car lover's dream for the annual Kindergarten Dad's Car Race. There were stations to measure your car, paint a picture of a race car with marbles, a make your own award station and, of course, the station to race your car that you built at home with dad.  There was also a place where dads and their child could build a bridge over water with marshmallows and toothpicks and a place to learn about friction. From start to finish, this event was a real winner! A huge thank you to our Kindergarten teachers for putting their hearts into this activity that these children and their dads will surely never forget. 🏎️🏁

Last week our lesson in Chapel was let the children come to me from Mark 10. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.
