All Around Child, Center for Exploration & Development

Snow day… but make it toddler-style ❄️🤍 Our toddlers got to explore real snow indoor. Big smiles, happy hands, and lots of giggles without the cold. Winter fun the cozy way! ❄️

Today, we pause to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a leader who taught the world about kindness, courage, service, and standing up for what is right.

At All Around Child, we strive to nurture hearts and minds by teaching our children the importance of respect, empathy, and celebrating the beauty of our differences. Even our youngest learners can begin to understand that their words matter, their actions matter, and they can help make the world a better place.

“Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

As we step into this new year, our hearts are full of gratitude for our incredible children, families, and teachers. 💛
A new year means fresh beginnings, big imaginations, growing independence, and so many beautiful moments of learning through play.

We can’t wait to explore, create, wonder, and grow together with one question, one friendship, and one joyful discovery at a time. 🌱📚🎨

Here’s to a year filled with curiosity, kindness, confidence, and lots of laughter at All Around Child! HAPPY NEW YEAR! From our family to yours!

Today our Pre-K students were treated to an incredible surprise, a parent and professional violinist from the Kansas City Symphony joined us to share the magic of the violin!

As part of our Performance Arts Project, the children explored how music is created, listened to live demonstrations, asked the most thoughtful questions, and even got to see how a real musician practices and performs. Their eyes were WIDE with wonder! 👀💛

We are so grateful for families who share their talents and help bring learning to life in the most meaningful way. Thank you for inspiring our little artists and filling our classroom with music today!

Our teachers have been bursting with creativity this week! From silly faces to sparkly masterpieces, every pumpkin tells its own story. 🍂✨🍁 want to vote for your favorite? Click here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Az9-XDvxD81tgHgqpOCH4F_5CtPU5JkZ5wAfo6hliOY/viewform?edit_requested=true
