Cadence Academy Preschool, Old Peachtree

As the oldest holiday to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States, June 19, 1865 is a reminder of where this nation has been and where we still need to go.

We picked up We Celebrate Juneteenth by Doli Mitchell, Ashley Jefferson, and Little Feminist Book Club from the library and Zora has requested to read it no less than 15 times. Between the beautiful babies, the food, and the visual display of love in these Black families creating traditions, this book was the perfect way to discuss Juneteenth for a toddler.

How will you celebrate today?
❤️ Read a book about the holiday
🤍 Support a Black-owned business
💙 Attend a Juneteenth event
❤️ Watch a kids show with a Juneteenth theme
💙 Use arts and crafts materials available to make a Juneteenth flag
🤍 Make traditional Juneteenth red foods

Donuts for Dad was a sweet success this morning! 💙🍩

We loved welcoming all of our amazing dads and father figures for a special morning filled with donuts, smiles, and quality time with their little ones. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the morning so memorable. These moments create lasting memories, and we are so grateful to celebrate the wonderful fathers and role models in our Cadence Academy family!

The Summer Campers had an amazing first week full of fun, learning, and hands-on science adventures.

This week, campers took a deep dive into the Earth and weather through exciting experiments and activities. They created edible Earth layer pudding cups, made salt dough Earth models, and even built their own earthworm farm to observe over the next few weeks and watch the tunnels the worms create.

Campers also explored weather science with a tornado in a jar experiment and a raincloud experiment. To top off the fun, everyone enjoyed a special visit from Kona Ice!

Our Pre-K campers had a blast too, as they explored and played with their very own weather station and weather activities.

Next week the summer campers will travel into Space with some amazing activities planned, they are also going to enjoy going to the Gwinnett Stripers Baseball Game!

🇺🇸 Happy Memorial Day 🇺🇸

Today we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Their courage, service, and dedication will never be forgotten.

Wishing all of our families a safe and meaningful Memorial Day as we spend time with loved ones and reflect with gratitude. ❤️🤍💙
