Thank you to everyone who voted and got us here! When we started Curious Explorers Academy in 2017 we wanted to make a space in Richmond for children to learn and grow. We have become so much bigger than what we initially planned and we are so grateful! We wouldn’t be here without our amazing teachers and the support of our community. Thank you all!! 😊

Did you know? Tracing letters with a car’s wheels helps preschoolers build the same hand movements they’ll later use to write!

🚗📝 It’s playful practice for pre-writing skills, letter recognition, and hand-eye coordination all before a pencil ever comes out.

🚗🎨 Vroom into creativity! Today our little artists traded paintbrushes for toy cars, rolling and swerving through paint to create one of a kind masterpieces.

Beyond the giggles, this activity is packed with learning:
✨ Builds fine motor skills & hand strength
✨ Explores cause and effect with every track
✨ Engages the senses through texture and color
✨ Sparks language as we talk about “zoom,” “swerve,” and “overlap”
✨ Encourages creative, pressure-free expression

Simple materials, big developmental payoff, that’s learning through play in action at Curious Explorers Academy! 🌈
