Island Prep

🐝🌎 Happy Earth Day! 🌼💛

Today was extra sweet for our school as we welcomed a special guest—a real beekeeper! Our little learners were buzzing with excitement as they discovered the important role bees play in caring for our planet. From pollination to protecting habitats, we learned how these tiny creatures make a BIG impact! 🌱🍯

We loved getting a closer look (safely, of course!) and asking all our curious questions. Experiences like this help us grow a deeper appreciation for nature and how we can all help take care of it. 💚

Our classrooms have also been working on projects about recycling and repurposing.

Here’s to raising kind, curious, earth-loving kiddos—one bee at a time! 🐝✨

Happy Administrative Professionals Day! 💛

Today we’re celebrating the incredible work that happens behind the scenes—especially from our office managers and front office team who help keep everything running smoothly each day.

In a small school, so many roles overlap, and we are constantly reminded how much heart, organization, and care it takes to support our families and staff. From the first smile in the morning to the last detail of the day, we are so thankful for all that you do.

We truly couldn’t do it without you! 🐳❤️📝

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Brian Batzel. He was such a valued part of our school and will be truly missed.

Please keep the Batzel family in your thoughts and hearts during this incredibly difficult time. 🤍

There is a go fund me if you are able to donate or share.

We had so much fun at our Fall Festival Monday Night! We collected tons of food for the homeless, painted with parents, had a sweet little art walk along with games and snacks! Thank you to everyone who came out!

How you can tell there was a great turnout at an Island Prep Event! Shoes, shoes and more shoes!

Unforgettable weekend with an extraordinary group of educators! Thanks to our fabulous families who made it possible for us to learn and grow this weekend at the FLAEYC conference!

Continuing Education is vital to our roles as educators for your little ones.. the foundations start here!
