Preschool 1 explored kitchen chemistry with a Magic Milk Experiment! 🥛🌈

Using everyday ingredients, students observed how different molecules interact. Before adding soap, they noticed the colors stayed separated and did not move. After adding soap, they watched the colors swirl, create patterns, and move across the milk.

Through observation and discussion, students practiced following directions, making predictions, and thinking like scientists! 🔬✨

Such a fun morning celebrating donuts with our favorite gals!

Grateful to United Way of South Central Illinois for including us in this expansion of the Tiny Pantry Program 💛

Now at Bright Start Early Learning Center and in the Village of Belle Rive, these pantries live out “take what you need, leave what you can.”

Special thanks to Rob Schnicker and Carrie for building and delivering them.

This is community care in action 💬

So much love and creativity are filling the halls at Bright Start Early Learning Center this Valentine’s season 💝 Our classroom doors are decorated, and our little artists have been busy creating some amazing, heartfelt artwork.

Every project is more than art — it builds confidence, encourages self-expression, and supports early learning through creativity and care. ❤️🎨📚

We had an amazing evening at our Cookies with Santa event! Families spent time with classroom teachers, enjoyed a fun activity together, and visited Santa in the Activity Room. One of our kiddos said it best: “That was amazing to see Santa!” 🎄🍪
