Righteous Arrows

Today we are specifically lifting up Danny Go and his family in prayer after the heartbreaking loss of their son, Isaac, following his battle with cancer. 💔🙏

So many children know Danny Go as the fun, energetic person who brings movement, laughter, and joy into their homes every day. Behind the smiles on the screen, though, this family has been walking through an incredibly difficult journey for a long time.

As parents, caregivers, and educators, our hearts hurt deeply for them. We are praying for peace that only God can give, strength for the days ahead, comfort through unimaginable grief, and for their family to feel surrounded by love and support during this time.

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” — Matthew 5:4

Please keep Danny Go and his family in your prayers today. 💙

(P.S. Even though we enjoy Danny Go on a regular basis, the only photos I could locate that specifically show Danny Go were from last year.)

What a special week at Righteous Arrows!! 🚲🦋🌱

We were gifted some bikes, and we truly could not be more grateful!! Thank you, Kerstein Cheyenne Kladis from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and generosity! 💛

In just ONE week, 2 of our students learned how to pedal completely on their own! 🙌 It won’t be long before we have a whole class full of confident little bike riders! 🤣💪

Watching them gain confidence, determination, and independence has been such a joy.

As our students continue growing into new experiences, our caterpillars are growing too! They have officially entered their cocoons, and we are so excited to hopefully return from our 3-day weekend to beautiful butterflies! 🦋 What a perfect reminder of growth and change during our final days of the school year.

Just FOUR more days of school before we begin our 2-week summer break! ☀️ We are soaking up every last moment together and making memories every step of the way. 💛

P.S. The boys fight over the girly bike, while our girl could care less which bike she is on. 🤣

🦋 One of the greatest experiences of our Garden Unit has been our Butterfly Garden! 🌱

In just ONE week, our “little caterpillars” have already become “BIG” caterpillars right before our eyes!

The friends have loved observing the changes each day and learning how living things grow and transform over time.

We are so excited to continue watching them GROW and change — right alongside our plants and flowers as they sprout, bloom, and flourish too! 🌼🐛🦋

There is something so special about being able to experience these lessons firsthand through nature, observation, and hands-on learning! 💚

In addition to being able to use real dirt and real seeds to experience real success, another thing we have enjoyed through our “Garden Unit” is a realistic sensory center — although pretend! 🌱

Using beans as seeds, matching shapes with flower pots, and feeling the sensation of “grass,” our friends have been fully engaged in hands-on learning and imaginative play.

We can’t think of a better way to broaden the imagination while strengthening fine motor skills, shape recognition, and sensory exploration all at the same time! 🌼✨

Last week we began our final unit of the year — 🌱 “All About the Garden!” 🌱

One of the biggest highlights of the week was getting to enjoy a hands-on art and science experience by planting our very own grass!

The kiddos had so much fun scooping dirt, planting seeds, and watering their creations. 🌿

And the most exciting part? They are already beginning to sprout!! 🙌

The children have absolutely loved checking on them each day and watching them grow little by little. It has been such a fun way to learn about growth, patience, and caring for living things. 💚

We are so excited for all the garden-themed fun still ahead as we finish out our school year together! 🌼☀️

(P.S. I dumped some orange juice in their hand washing bucket. They really are using clean water. 😆)

💐 Happy Mother’s Day to all of our amazing preschool moms, grandmas, bonus moms, and mother figures! 💐

Today we celebrate the love, patience, sacrifices, encouragement, and countless little things you do every single day for your children. Thank you for trusting us with such an important part of their lives. It is truly an honor to watch them grow, learn, laugh, and thrive alongside you. 💛

From wiping tears, packing lunches, reading bedtime stories, cheering on milestones, praying over your babies, and loving them through every stage — your impact is immeasurable. The love you pour into your children shines brightly in our classroom every day. 🌷

We are so thankful for each family that is part of our Righteous Arrows family. Your support, kindness, and partnership mean more than words can express.

We hope your day is filled with love, hugs, laughter, and special memories with your little ones. You deserve to be celebrated today and every day! 💕

As Teacher Appreciation Week comes to a close, I just want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to every family who has allowed me the privilege of caring for, teaching, loving, guiding, and cheering on their child over the years. 💛

Since beginning this journey in 2017, I have had the opportunity to teach so many precious little lives. Some families found themselves with me simply because of circumstances or limited options, or just because I was the only teacher for their age group at their center. 😅… but now, years later, it means even MORE to me knowing that many of you truly have a choice — and yet, you still choose me. 🥹

You choose my little preschool. You choose my heart for children. You choose the love, patience, creativity, structure, prayers, laughter, and care that I pour into this every single day.
And that is something I will never take lightly.

Thank you for trusting me with your babies, your stories, your milestones, your struggles, your victories, and the countless little moments in between. Watching these children grow has become one of the greatest honors and joys of my life. 💕

Whether your child stayed for a short season or I had them for many years, please know that each one has left a footprint on my heart.

Thank you for choosing me. 😊

🌿🐦 We kicked off the new month with a perfect ending to our Birds & Eggs unit… BIRD WATCHING DAY! 👀✨

We had SO much fun using both pretend binoculars and our homemade binoculars while exploring and observing the world around us. The children absolutely loved our spring picnic, and we truly couldn’t have asked for more beautiful weather! ☀️🌸

And guess what…
👉 We even spotted a real nest! 🪺💛

We also enjoyed a special counting lesson using our oval-shaped jellybeans, and even got to enjoy a boiled egg for snack—such a fun (and tasty!) way to bring our learning to life! 🍬🥚

This week was full of excitement as we:
🐦 Created several exotic birds
🎉 Celebrated another special birthday
🎨 Began preparing for our FINAL theme of the year

Time is flying, but we are ending strong—and trust me…
👉 our last theme is going to be just as exciting!

📣 Be on the lookout for our summer schedule and activities coming soon!
