As usual, I spent half an hr setting up art for the kids and they would rather play in a bush ππ€£π
We are a half- day, child- centered preschool program located between South Hill and Puyallup, WA.
My name is Leah, and I am the owner and operator of Sticks βn Stones Preschool! This is a mostly outdoor, messy, child- centered program which is run from my home and property. My goal is to balance developmentally appropriate academics with lots of fun, active, creative, messy play and learning. I have watched many children learn and grow over the years, and look forward to meeting many more wonderful families!

I love all of the crazy things my big kids build! I always miss their awesome feats of engineering when they move up to kindergarten π.
Really good thing to think about.

Ugh I cannot find the work phone to post pictures of our last day! π€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ. Alex, hopefully you donβt mind me stealing this one of Agnes. We had such a great day with the ice cream truck and then our cute graduation (I only forgot one diploma this time- last year I forgot to hand out ALL of them ππ€£). I will find the phone and get the pictures up asap, but I had to at least post this pic and say a great big THANK YOU to all of my clients for making a very difficult year much easier for me to manage β€οΈ. I am looking forward to a fabulous summer!
Yes! Not- toys are the best.
Wild and crazy graduation day fun!! π©βπ
Oh! This is a very good description.
Yes! Consent

NATURAL CONSEQUENCES ππ€£π. After a couple months of kids fighting and not being safe up here in the treehouse because it was so closed off and difficult for me to reach in a hurry, I told them last Friday I was going to have to take the front off/ open it up because they were not being safe in there. Last night, it happened. Obviously it looks a bit rough, Iβll be adding some trim and probably a sheer curtain so they still have it as a βhidey spotβ (which are VERY important!)- that is somewhat visible. Iβm honestly super duper easy going when it comes to the play environment- but itβs important for them to see that safety is still #1 and that there are boundaries even at our wild and crazy school π. At some point I will be designing an update to the playground and I am super excited to use my experience to create some super fun and functional stuff!
