Our school-age students in 401 watched Gertie the Dinosaur, a landmark animated short film featuring the first cartoon character with a distinct personality. Then, they created their own Gertie scene!

In our school-age classrooms, this summer’s themes are Folklores, Myths, and Legends; and Animation and Drawing. Our librarians have curated sections of the library for our teachers and students to find books that can guide projects in class and continue to hone new passions outside of class!

In classroom 102, our toddlers have already become published authors!

102 read the book, “It Looked Like Spilt Milk,” by Charles Green Shaw. This is an interactive picture book where the illustrations are a series of white shapes against blue backgrounds. Our young readers were asked what they saw when they looked at these shapes. Was it a bunny? a cloud? or just spilt milk?

Then, they each painted their own white shape on a page and “published” their book in 102’s library!

On Saturday, we celebrated 50 years with our current families. It was a beautiful day at Smith playground filled with endless laughter and big body play!

We also launched our Summer Matching Campaign. Thanks to an anonymous donor, all donations designated to the Legacy Fund up to $100 will be matched 4:1! That means a $20 donation will turn into $100. Donate through the link in bio.

Last week, one of our Early Childhood Coordinator, Lauren Williams, attended Career Day at William C. Longstreth Elementary School.

Lauren has been at Children’s Village since 2022. She is also an Adjunct Professor at Harcum College and previously worked for the Philadelphia School District.

She had a plethora of knowledge and experience to share with students who will be the future of the workforce, including how something as simple as bubbles can be a versatile tool for teaching!

We’ve had two amazing workshops for parent and family education this month! Our caregiver education equips families with strategies to reinforce learning and bridge the gap between school and home, boosting success in school for their children.

The first photo shows our workshop with “Chef Steph”, our Head Cook, showing parents how to cook their children’s favorite meals from our Nutrition program. The second is from our workshop on our preschool librarian’s approach to make reading fun and engaging for kids.

…and so much more! Without childcare, not only would parents and family members not be able to work, but children would be left without the vital attention, care, and education of their devoted teachers. Today (and everyday), we fight for equitable access to affordable, high-quality childcare and a fair wage for early childhood educators.

Happy Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week!

All week long, we celebrated our hardworking staff.

This year was extra special because it is also our 50th anniversary year. So many dedicated staff have come through our doors over the years. At CV, we not only support the development of young children, but we also aim to support the professional growth of our teaching staff. Thank you for all you do, CV staff!! 🥳🥳
