🤸‍♀️💦 Join us for more Summer fun! Ms. Emily is leading two camp-style playgroups in the Jones Valley area in July! These caregiver attended classes will explore the many ways we can explore with our senses outside four consecutive days! Registration is required and space is limited! See the link in comments for more info.

We've only got one week left on our last Spring Playgroup, but do not fret! We have one summer playgroup already open for registration with only TWO spots left. The first Summer playgroup will meet each morning of June 1-4th at Monte Sano and we'd love to have you play with us! Link for registration in the comments!

Our LMFS staff ended the last day of our 2025/26 school year with a painting swap challenge! Much like each canvas we rotated, we have all evolved, grown, and carried some mistakes along the way. But we laughed through it all and ultimately worked together to create something unique and beautiful. We are so proud of our diversely talented LMFS team, and this was a joyful, fun way to end our school year.

👀 We found an Eastern Eyed Click Beetle today! This buddy has BIG spots on their thorax to fool predators, AND an interesting body part that helps them *CLICK* and jump as if they were spring loaded!

Thank you little creature teacher! 😍
