We welcomed summer by slowing down and noticing the beauty around us. 🌼

The children explored our garden, collected leaves, carefully chose flowers, and created their own nature bracelets. Every bracelet was unique—just like the child who made it.

Sometimes the best classroom is simply outdoors. 💚

06/30/2026

As we said goodbye to a few little friends—but they’ll always be part of our Chia Seed family.

Thank you for trusting us with your children. Watching them grow has been one of the greatest joys of our lives.

We’ll miss you, and we can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll do.

Once a Chia Seed, always a Chia Seed. 🌱 ❤️

Little hands, big work 🌱
From sewing and caring for plants, to freshly squeezing orange juice 🍊, food prep, and our love toast 🧡 — practical life moments help children build independence, focus, and care for others.

在日常生活中学习，在动手实践中成长。
These are the moments that matter.

🎄✨ Holiday Magic at Chia Seed ✨🎄
As the year comes to an end, we’re filled with gratitude.
From everyday learning to holiday celebrations, these moments remind us why childhood is so magical.

孩子们在舞台上的勇敢、在交换礼物时的喜悦，都是成长最美的样子 ❤️

🍁🦃 Chia Seed Learning Center — Thanksgiving Week Highlights! 🧡

🦃 Made our own pinecone turkeys
🍽 Shared a Thanksgiving meal we helped prepare
🍂 Matched and sorted fall leaves
🎨 Painted seasonal art inspired by autumn harvest
🥕 Explored real vegetables and talked about where food comes from
👫 Worked together, took turns, and helped our friends

Moments like these remind us how capable, curious, and caring our little learners are.
Thank you, families, for being part of our community — we are grateful for every child and every smile!
