Newport Mouse Factory Cooperative Preschool is a play-based program for ages 3–5, where children learn through exploration, creativity, and connection.
Families and teachers partner to support each child’s growth in a nurturing community. Mouse Factory is unique in that it is the ONLY cooperative preschool in the Newport area. Co-ops are parent-run, low cost and family centered preschools. Mouse Factory actively involves parents in its daily programs, and allows them to participate in their children's first educational experiences away from home.

Bubble painting!
We took advantage of the beautiful weather yesterday to move our activity outside!
Bubble painting benefits fine motor development, oral motor skills, creativity and self-expression, and science exploration!

Allowing for ✨️vertical art time ✨️ helps us build muscles that are necessary for writing, encourages better posture, supports a brain - body connection, and helps improve focus and coordination. It isn't just "art time." It is foundational skill-building disguised as fun!

Roll, count, recreate!
Working on early math and foundational skills!
Here's the breakdown-
Counting and number sense - Counting & matching!
Subitizing - seeing dot patterns on the dice and recognizing numbers without necessarily needing to count 1 by 1.
Number recognition - connecting a visual with the actual numerical sign.
Fine motor skills - continuing to develop critical skills through rolling the dice, holding a pen, and working with their hands!
Taking turns & simple step direction following!
