Congratulations to the ACCESS Pre-K 4 & Milestones graduating class of 2026! 🎓💚

Last week, our graduates shared their favorite books from the year during the book walk and entertained the audience with some of their favorite songs before receiving their diplomas. Our teachers, staff, and ACCESS families were all there to celebrate this exciting milestone.

Thank you to everyone who made this special day possible. We are so proud of this fantastic group and can't wait to see all they accomplish in their bright futures!

📚✨ Last week at ACCESS Adventure, Story Book Adventures brought the pages to life!

Campers stepped into the worlds of The Three Little Pigs, Hugo and the Impossible Thing, Love Monster's Box of Curiosities, and Pete's Dragon through hands-on activities and creative challenges. They became authors, put their taste buds to the test in the Pasta Lab and Wonka Quality Control Challenge, explored hero training and identity in the Art Lab, and wrapped up the week with a special moment as our Gators took the stage for the premiere of the play they'd been working toward all summer. 🎭💙

Last week at ACCESS Adventure, Hollywood Heroes brought the lights, cameras, and plenty of action! 🎬✨ Campers built their own jetpacks in the Multi-Material Jetpack Studio, took on the Game Face Challenge, trained for Zero-G, and put their skills to the test in Asteroid Belt Survival and the Silent Void. Thursday's Water Day was a splash, and Ballet Arkansas helped us wrap up an action-packed week with a special Friday visit. 🚀🌟

We're proud to have team members like Ms. Marie, whose passion and dedication help students grow more independent every day.

🎶 Last week, our Adventurers found their rhythm during Week 7: Music in Motion! 🎸🥁

From building rain sticks and creating edible musical masterpieces to welcoming Irish dancers for a fun rhythm and reaction session, campers explored music through creativity, movement, and hands-on fun. They also took on a Sound Scavenger Hunt, stepped into the spotlight with a One-Take Old Studio project, built their own guitars during the String Instrument Showdown, and ended the week with an unforgettable silent dance party! 🎵💃

It was a week full of creativity, collaboration, and making memories through the power of music. 🎤✨
