📚🌳 Storytime at Moore Square! 🌳📚

Our Toddler 2 friends had a wonderful morning at Moore Square listening to Miss Nancy read two fun stories. The children were engaged from beginning to end, and we even spotted some cool creatures along the way! 🐛🦋🐦

Thank you to the City of Raleigh and Moore Square for providing such a fun and enriching experience for our little learners. We can’t wait for our next adventure! 💚✨

Friendship tastes even sweeter when we make it together!

Our Toddler 2 friends celebrated friendship by making a delicious friendship fruit salad! Each child helped contribute to our colorful creation, practicing sharing, teamwork, and enjoying something special together.

There’s nothing sweeter than friendship!

Another Week of Fun in the Sun!

This week’s theme was Ice Cream & Friends, and Toddler 2 had so much fun learning through play!

The children practiced counting the number of letters in their names and added that many mini scoops to their ice cream cones. This fun activity helped support name recognition, counting 1–10, early literacy, and number concepts!

we visited Mrs. Ashlee’s Ice Cream Shop, where the children had the opportunity to learn how ice cream is made and choose their favorite toppings.

What a sweet week filled with learning, friendship, and lots of fun!

Toddler 2’s Pizza Adventure!

Before heading out on our field trip to Benny’s, Toddler 2 read Pete the Cat: Perfect Pizza and got excited about our upcoming pizza adventure!

The children had so much fun connecting our storybook to a real-life experience as we headed to Benny’s to learn more about pizza and enjoy a fun field trip together!

Learning is always more fun when we can bring our stories to life!

🍦 What a SWEET day in Toddler 1 & Toddler 2!

Our book of the day was Pete the Cat: Screams for Ice Cream, and the children had so much fun bringing the story to life!

After reading, we got creative and made puff paint to design our own ice cream art pictures—so colorful and fun!

Some of our friends worked with Miss Justice on a counting activity, scooping “ice cream” to match numbers—great job practicing those counting skills!

To top off our day, we celebrated with a special ice cream party in the afternoon. So many smiles and happy faces!

We love learning through play and creating joyful memories together!

What the children learned:
• Early math skills: Counting, number recognition, and one-to-one correspondence during the ice cream scoop activity
• Language & literacy: Listening to the story, building vocabulary, and making connections to real-life experiences
• Creativity & fine motor skills: Using puff paint to create art helped strengthen hand muscles and encouraged self-expression
• Social-emotional skills: Sharing, taking turns, and enjoying a group celebration together at the ice cream party
• Sensory exploration: Engaging with textures (puff paint) and tastes (ice cream) supports sensory development

Today’s storytime featured the fun and engaging book Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons! We took our learning outside and turned it into a hands-on activity ☀️

The children took turns picking number cards, practicing number recognition and counting. They counted circles to match their number and then added the correct number of “buttons” to Pete the Cat’s jacket.

Through this activity, we were building:
🔢 Early math skills (number identification & counting)
🧠 One-to-one correspondence
🎯 Fine motor skills
🤝 Turn-taking and cooperation

Learning through play makes it even more meaningful and fun! 💙
