Even during Teacher Appreciation Week, our amazing teachers were busy helping little hands create something special for the most important women in their lives… their moms 💐✨
So much love went into each handmade gift, and we hope all of our amazing moms feel extra loved and celebrated this weekend. Wishing everyone a beautiful Mother’s Day! 💕

Teacher Appreciation Week + Taco’s 🌮 = a perfect day at LLOA 💛
Today we celebrated International Firefighters’ Day with messy play, teamwork, and brave little heroes in training. Thank you to all who serve our community! 🚒❤️

We filled our space with milkweed over spring break… and it officially feels like spring 🦋 🌼
monarchs, caterpillars, and so much curiosity ✨
This is what learning looks like. 🌱
I don’t even know how to put this day into words 🐰🌸
Spending Easter together made it that much more special… it honestly couldn’t have been a better day.
Sometimes I still can’t believe I built this. LLOA started from the ground up, and somehow it turned into this beautiful community of the most amazing children, families, and teachers. I know this is exactly where I’m meant to be ✨ Watching them grow every single day is something I’ll never take for granted. I feel so blessed for all of it 🤍
Hope everyone had a beautiful Easter ✝️🐰&

Missing a few, but this is my why 🥹💟 🐣🐰🌼
Lucky little learners 🍀✨
We had the BEST St. Patrick’s Day celebration filled with fun, creativity, and hands-on learning! A huge thank you to our amazing families & teachers for the festive potluck, everything green made it extra magical 💚
The kids enjoyed a glow dance party, practiced important skills like cutting, pouring, and coordination with green veggies, and got creative with sparkly art using sequins, glitter, and more ✂️✨
So grateful for a community that makes days like this so special. We loved every second and can’t wait to share more smiles and memories! 🍀💫 ☘️🌈🎩

Our atelier is really coming together and starting to feel complete, brought to life by the children’s beautiful artwork. 🎨 😍 With interchangeable frames for rotating pieces, mirrors, plexiglass panels, canvases galore, four rolling paper holders, a wide range of paint colors, loose parts, and so much more, the space is designed to evolve with the children’s creativity. ✨
Over break, I spent time bringing this vision to life for the kids, and I’m so happy with how it’s turning out. I can’t wait to continue creating in this and to plan our very first LLOA art show! 🤍
