🎪🌭 CARNIVAL MONTH ADVENTURES CONTINUE! 🌭🎪

Today our Iplay kiddos took learning on the go with a walking field trip to Hey! Hot Dog! ❤️💛

As part of our Carnival-Themed Month, we headed out for a fun neighborhood adventure and enjoyed a yummy carnival-style lunch together! 🌭🍟🎟️ The children loved getting outside, walking with their friends, exploring our community, and turning lunchtime into another special Iplay memory.

We’ve had SO much fun bringing our carnival theme to life all month long—and we’re not finished yet! 🎡🎠✨

A special thank you to Hey! Hot Dog for welcoming our little learners! 💛 And as always, thank you to our amazing Iplay staff for making every adventure fun and safe.

🎪 At Iplay, learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door! 💚

🍂🎃 Iplay Learning Academy Takes on Siegel’s Cottonwood Farm! 🎃🍂

Last week, our Iplay kiddos had an AMAZING fall field trip at Siegel’s Cottonwood Farm! 🧡 From bouncing and sliding to train rides, exploring, feed farm animals, laughing, and making memories with friends, our little learners enjoyed every minute of their adventure! 🚂🍁

Field trips are about so much more than having fun—they give our children opportunities to explore the world around them, try new experiences, build friendships, and learn outside of the classroom. 💚

A HUGE thank you to our wonderful teachers and staff for keeping our kiddos safe while making the day so special. And thank you to our Iplay families for trusting us with your little ones! 🥰

Special thanks to our transportation Cannady Transport Services

📸 Here’s a little look at all the fun we had!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for treats, smiles, hugs, and special moments with our Iplay kiddos. We loved having you! 🥰

There’s nothing quite like the love of someone GRAND! 💚
