The Learning Nest

So much fun at today’s Playground Play Date! ☀️🫧

The kids enjoyed bubbles, sidewalk chalk, tag, and lots of playground fun while the adults had a chance to chat, catch up, and connect. It was such a sweet way to start the day!

We did learn one important lesson for next time... there will definitely be snacks! 😂🍎

Thank you to everyone who joined us, we loved spending the morning together! 💛 We hope to see even more of you at our next Playground Play Date on **June 24!** 😊🌳✨

☀️ Summer Playground Playdates! ☀️
Join us on the TLN playground every Wednesday from 9:30–10:30 AM this summer for fun, friends, and play!
Open to current and new families. We can't wait to see everyone enjoying the sunshine and making new friends.
No playdates during summer camp weeks (June 17 and July 15).
🌳 Bring your smiles and come play!

Right before spring break, Native Roots generously donated and planted trees for our preschool playground, and we could not be more thankful! They worked so hard to get everything planted and did an absolutely beautiful job.

Over the past several weeks we’ve loved watching everything begin to grow and come to life. If you are looking to spruce up your landscaping, we highly recommend giving them a call.

Thank you again, Native Roots, for your kindness, hard work, and support of our school community…we love our new trees and landscaping! 🌳💚

Happy Mother’s Day to all of our amazing moms, grandmas, and mother figures at the preschool!

Thank you for the love, care, patience, and support you pour into your children and families every single day. Whether you are a mom, grandma, aunt, bonus mom, or someone who steps in with a mother’s love, you help make our little community so special.

We are so thankful for all that you do and hope your day is filled with love, laughter, celebration, and a little time to relax…you all deserve it! 💕

It was a great last week of school filled with certificate ceremonies, class parties, bubbles, popsicles, a few tears, and a whole lot of love. ❤️
Thank you all for such an amazing year! We are so grateful for our TLN families and all of the memories we made together.
We also want to wish Mrs. Heile a very happy retirement! She has been a favorite to everyone she meets, and we hope she comes back to visit us often. ❤️
Hooray for summer break ☀️ Be on the lookout for info on summer playdates at TLN coming soon!

Our hearts are so full after today’s luncheon 🤍
A huge thank you to our amazing parents for providing the most delicious salads, fresh fruit, and desserts…everything was incredible! We were so grateful to gather with our staff, parent council, substitutes, and volunteers to laugh, enjoy great food, and celebrate the end of the school year together.
One of the highlights was our fashion show featuring all the characters from Kids in Motion/People and Places—a fun and meaningful way to celebrate Mrs. Heile and her retirement.
A special thank you to Tera Kiser, Sara Huseman, and everyone who worked so hard behind the scenes to make today so special…they truly planned it all!
Today was a small way for us to thank everyone who pours so much love and support into our preschool each and every day. We are so grateful for this community! ❤️

Our Mother’s Day Tea is one of our most cherished traditions at TLN for our 4- and 5-year-olds!
It’s a day filled with love, excitement, and a little extra sparkle as our children dress up to celebrate their moms. They work so hard leading up to this special event…creating heartfelt gifts, drawing portraits of their moms, and making a necklace just for them.
On the big day, each child proudly greets their mom at the door with a flower, then walks her to her seat like a true host. They share sweet treats together, perform songs they’ve been practicing, and of course, we capture so many special moments along the way.
This is a tradition we hold so close to our hearts every year! A special thank you to the teachers for planning such a memorable day, all the mom’s at TLN who share their precious kids with us and Darian Coffman for making the delicious cookies. It was a great day! ❤️

Life in our classrooms lately ✨
From giving animals baths in sensory play, to soaking up sunshine outside, to the magic of releasing butterflies we raised from tiny caterpillars 🦋… every day is full of wonder.
We’ve had volcanoes erupting on Discovery Friday, imaginative box play turning into the most creative adventures, little hands planting and learning how flowers grow, exploring “people and places” with Mrs. Heile and our final music class of the year with the Kiser’s. ❤️
