We love toys that meet children where they are.
For our younger friends, it’s all about fine motor exploration. For our older kids, it’s patterns, problem-solving, and early math skills. One colorful toy, endless learning across ages.

We skipped resolutions and leaned into something more age-appropriate: wishes ✨
Each child designed a wishing wand and made a wish for the year ahead. The focus wasn’t on perfection—it was on creativity, confidence, and feeling proud of what they made with their own two hands 💛

Hands-on learning with our hometown heroes! ❤️ From exploring the fire trucks to meeting the goats that help with fire prevention — these kiddos got a true behind-the-scenes look at how our community stays safe! Thanks Fire Station 1 and for hosting an incredible event that created core memories for our little ones. 💕

It takes a team to save a worm 🪱Helping hands, brave hearts, and a few squeals along the way!

Blueprints and big hearts 💙 Aaron taught us how architects help design homes for families — and our little builders thanked him the only way preschoolers know how… with a giant group hug!

Let’s start with the first sight you see when coming to preschool. This area just brings so much joy because it’s the perfect expression of learning through play.

We use three IKEA trofast storage pieces but actually have two upside down. We saw do it so we had to copy. Having the lip around the space is really great for catching all the pieces a little easier when they are being used.

We typically have our letter of focus on one end and our color of focus on the other. It’s so good to create a print-rich environment so little ones become familiar and recognize how letters come together to make words. When they see the pictures associated with the words, they are building the foundation for their learning journey. Exposure exposure exposure but not forcing anything.
