Feeling very thankful for the love, the memories, and the many blessings God continues to place in our lives

Noi non possiamo avere la vita perfetta senza amici.

Each daybreak brings a delightful tradition to our preschool: a gentle procession of curious children heading out to the chicken coop, where our cherished school chickens have left behind their morning treasures.

With beaming faces, they deliver the eggs to our kitchen team, witnessing the journey from coop to community table.

This simple act connects them to the source of their food, fosters compassion for animals, and sparks endless curiosity about the world around them.

Curious how everyday traditions like these can nurture strong values and character in your child? Follow us for fresh ideas and inspiring stories that turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. Together, let's nurture the next generation—one precious egg at a time! 🥚🐥🌟

Levers. Wheels. Pulleys.

Simple machines changed the world — not because they were complex, but because they were smart.

At our school, we teach children that powerful ideas don’t have to be complicated.
When students explore simple machines, they learn how thinking, problem-solving, and creativity work together to make big things happen.
Small tools.
Big curiosity.
Strong minds being built every day.

🧠✨ Learning how the world works—one smart idea at a time.

Through hands-on learning experiences, children are building more than projects — they’re building skills for life.

As they design, test, and improve their ideas, children develop problem-solving skills, persistence, confidence, and the ability to work with others. They learn how to think critically, manage frustration, and keep going when something feels challenging.

These are the skills that support learning in school and beyond — and they start here.

How do people and things move from place to place?

This week, children explored modes of transportation and the machines that make movement possible.

From wheels to engines, they learned how transportation connects our world.

Engineering isn’t just about building — it’s about how children respond when things don’t work.

As children designed roller coasters, they practiced persistence by trying again, problem-solving as a team, and learning how to manage frustration when a design failed.
When a coaster didn’t work, children didn’t quit — they redesigned.

That’s real learning.

Through experiences like this, children build resilience, confidence, and the ability to work through challenges — skills that matter far beyond the classroom.

This week, children became engineers and designers.

Through building roller coasters, children learned how engineers design structures, how speed changes based on height and slope, and how energy moves through a system. They tested ideas, observed results, and made changes to improve their designs.
Design → Build → Test → Improve

Each step helped children strengthen problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and persistence — especially when a design didn’t work the first time.

This is hands-on learning that builds confident thinkers.

What happens if we make the ramp higher?

Children experimented with height and slope to see how movement changes — learning that small adjustments can lead to big discoveries.

That’s scientific thinking in action.
