Miss Brinkley’s class enjoyed a Sensory Walk on Friday!

Students explored their senses by wearing goggles to experience how different animals see, feeling the textures of a pumpkin, sampling foods with different tastes, smelling pleasant and unpleasant scents, and guessing what was inside sound capsules!

It was a wonderful way to wrap up our “Marvelous Me” unit!

Three is such a special age. Your child is growing, learning, becoming more independent, making friends, asking BIG questions, and discovering the world around them. Preschool gives them a place to do all of that while learning, playing, and building the skills they need for kindergarten and beyond.

At the Richland County Early Learning Center, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and belong!
