Early Learning Children's Academy

Today our campers went to the iron pigs game and had a wonderful time outside seeing the great game of baseball… and enjoyed snacks!
!

What an adventure! Our preschool, pre-k, and campers had an absolute blast at the zoo, getting up close and personal with fascinating animals, playing on the playground, riding a tractor and even feeding a giraffe!
!

Our campers had a great time doing yoga and making a Fourth of July themed craft!

Today was an absolute blast playing outside and soaking up the sunshine! ☀️

Celebrating the Year of the Snake! 🎨✂️
Our preschoolers had a blast celebrating the Chinese Lunar New Year by making slithery, creative snakes! They experimented with frozen paint to create unique snake designs and practiced their fine motor skills by coloring and cutting out their own paper snakes. It was a fun and messy way to learn about this special tradition while letting their creativity shine!
Here’s to a year full of wisdom, growth, and new adventures—just like the Year of the Snake symbolizes! 🐍✨

This week in preschool, we had so much fun tracing mittens and talking about the chilly weather! 🧤❄️
We learned why we need mittens to keep our hands warm in the cold—brrrr! 🥶 Then, we cozied up and explored the letter E. We practiced its sound and came up with lots of “egg-cellent” words that start with E! 🥚🐘✨
Way to go, preschoolers!
