Our Preschool and Pre-K students are opening their imaginations this month with their Seeds of Literacy 🌱📖 book, "Harvey Potter's Balloon Farm" by Mark Buehner.

Most farmers harvest crops like fruits, veggies, or grains. But Harvey Potter is a different kind of farmer who grows balloons! 🎈 But how does he do it? Students may just find out the magic behind the mystery. 🌟

Our Pre-K students in Duluth, GA enjoyed Georgia Pre-K Week last month with a special visit from Georgia House Representative, Dewey McClain. He read to them, "A Magnificent Field Trip to the Governor's Mansion" by Malcolm Mitchell.

The Toddler & Explorer class at our school in Mauldin, SC at New Neely Ferry Rd. had fun with this easy clean-up finger painting experience. 🖐🏽🎨

Teachers taped cellophane over paint, and the kiddos explored their senses by creating “tracks” with their fingers and toy cars. This activity enhances fine motor skills and critical thinking while allowing each child to express their creativity.✨
