Second Baptist Childcare

Try a pattern hunt.

Look for patterns together — stripes on shirts, tiles on the floor, red-blue blocks. Then challenge your child to make one of their own.

Invite families to participate in a simple at-home activity—planting seeds, nature scavenger hunts, or reading challenges.

Learning how to stick with something that feels hard matters. When your child keeps trying, praise the effort — that persistence supports future learning.

Practice time words: yesterday/today/tomorrow.

Use them during daily routines: “Yesterday we read this book. Tomorrow we’ll visit grandma.”

Set your 4-year-old up for academic success by applying for high-quality pre-K, which could be free. 🎒 Visit OnMyWayPreK.org 🌟 to learn more and fill out the application. It’s not too late! ⏰

Support your child’s communication.

Encourage them to explain how they completed a task or describe steps in a familiar routine.

Language grows through everyday talk.

Narrate your routine (“Now we zip the coat…”). It builds comprehension and vocabulary.

Quality time builds strong brains.

Try a new experience this weekend—museum, park, or cooking together. New experiences build curiosity and emotional growth.

Curiosity leads the way in Pre-K! 🔍🌱 Four-year-olds learn best by exploring, asking questions, and having fun. 📚✨ See if your child qualifies for free, high-quality pre-K at OnMyWayPreK.org.
