We're honored to mark Juneteenth as a CPA company holiday. This annual commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States is important to celebrate.

We hope you all had a very Happy Easter yesterday! Here are a few pics from our annual CPA Easter Egg Hunt last week. Fun was had by all! 🐣

FBFamilyFriday! Parents and families are children’s first teachers. Family Friday focuses on engaging families to support our youngest learners.

Friday was filled with projects about family, a few special guests, and topped off with an ice cream bar picnic! What a perfect way to end another amazing Week of the Young Child!

It’s Artsy Thursday!

Think, problem solve, create! Children develop creativity, social skills and fine motor skills with open-ended art projects where they can make choices, use their imaginations, and create with their hands. On Artsy Thursday celebrate the joy and learning children experience when engaged in creative art making.

Work Together Wednesday! When children build together they experience teamwork and develop their social and early literacy skills.

We love watching these small wonders make incredible things happen when they work together! 🥰 👫

It’s Tasty Tuesday! Today isn’t just about eating your favorite snacks together. It’s also about cooking together and connecting math with literacy skills and science while introducing ways to incorporate healthy habits into children’s lifestyles.

Our amazing teachers put together some really fun and YUMMY activities for these kiddos today, including homemade trail mix, “dirt and worms”, friendship fruit salad, and frozen chocolate dipped bananas! 😋

The Week of the Young Child® is an annual celebration sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), the world's largest early childhood education association, with nearly 60,000 members and a network of 52 Affiliates.

The purpose of the Week of the Young Child® is to focus public attention on the needs of young children and their families and to recognize the early childhood programs and services that meet those needs.

Today’s theme is Music Monday!

When children sing, dance, and listen to music, they develop their language and early literacy skills while being active and encouraging movement. Make up and record your own unique version of a song or write your own, and share it on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram using the hashtag.
