🇺🇸❤️🤍💙 Celebrating 250 Years of America! 💙🤍❤️🇺🇸

This summer, our preschoolers are proudly joining the America 250 celebration with a patriotic parade full of smiles, excitement, and red, white, and blue spirit! Through fun, hands-on experiences, our little learners are discovering the importance of community, citizenship, and the rich history that has shaped our nation.

Growing, learning, and caring! 🌱💚

Our little gardeners have been hard at work this summer, learning valuable lessons about responsibility, independence, and caring for the world around them. From watering our garden to watching it grow, our students are developing a deeper appreciation for nature and the environment.

At Hansel & Gretel, we believe in celebrating the incredible educators who make a lasting impact on the lives of children and families every day. As part of our new Teacher of the Month recognition, we are honored to spotlight an educator whose dedication, passion, and heart have shaped our center for more than two decades.

For the month of May, we proudly recognize Ms. Runkle! 💐

As a seasoned preschool and kindergarten teacher, Ms. Runkle embodies the values of Hansel & Gretel in every aspect of her work. She leads with calmness, nurtures with intention, and creates classroom environments where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to learn. Through her creativity, patience, and unwavering commitment, she meets each child where they are and helps them thrive.

Her impact extends far beyond the classroom. Whether she is supporting her fellow educators, managing our beautiful center gardens, or offering a helping hand whenever needed, Ms. Runkle consistently pours her heart into our community. Her positivity, kindness, and servant leadership shine through each and every day.

Thank you, Ms. Runkle, for your years of dedication and for being such a valued part of the Hansel & Gretel family. We are grateful for all that you do and are proud to celebrate you! ❤️🍎

🎓✨ Our Kindergarteners are ready for their big moment! ✨🎓

Just a friendly reminder that Kindergarten Graduation is happening on June 2nd! We can’t wait to celebrate all the learning, growth, laughter, and milestones our amazing students have achieved this year.

Check out our future first graders shining bright with a special reminder that their big day is almost here! 🌟📚💛

We saved you a seat. 💺✨

Let’s celebrate them in a big way!

Every single day, our teachers pour into the children and families we serve with love, strength, consistency, and heart. They show up ready to encourage, teach, comfort, redirect, inspire, and create safe spaces where children can grow and thrive.

The work they do is not easy. It takes passion. It takes commitment. It takes resilience. And above all… it takes PATIENCE. 💛

This week’s theme is:
🖤 STRAIGHT OUTTA PATIENCE 🖤

This week we recognize and celebrate our incredible teachers for the impact they make each and every day. Thank you for standing in the gap, leading with love, and giving so much of yourselves to the children in our community. Your work matters more than words can express.

Last week our Kindergarten class had an unforgettable adventure at ZooAmerica and they had an absolute blast! From exploring the animals to sharing laughs with friends, it was a day full of memories, learning, and fun.

At Hansel & Gretel, we truly value providing meaningful experiences for our students while building strong partnerships and collaboration with our H&G families. These are the moments that make childhood so special!

Great news! Our Summer Camp Program still has FOUR spots remaining! ☀️🎨🌈 TWO spots within our preschool program and TWO for our grade school.

Our summer program begins Monday, June 8th, and we would love for your family to join our H&G family!

Reach out ASAP before spots are gone!
