𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗞𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆!

Today we celebrate the people whose work, dedication, and care help keep our families and communities moving forward.

And here at KPT, we’re especially grateful for the work that happens inside our own walls every day. 💛

Early childhood education is joyful, meaningful work—but it is also work. It takes patience, energy, knowledge, creativity, flexibility, and a whole lot of heart to care for children while helping them learn, grow, feel safe, and know that they belong.

So today, we celebrate our incredible KPT team—and all of the hardworking people in our KPT families and community.

We hope everyone enjoys a well-earned day to rest, recharge, spend time with the people you love, and maybe ignore the alarm clock for a little while. 😂

Happy Labor Day! ❤️🤍💙

🍂 𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝟭 — 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗪𝗘’𝗥𝗘 𝗢𝗙𝗙! 🍂

Day one of our 𝟮𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 is officially underway, and there is something pretty wonderful about seeing these classrooms full of children and teachers again. 💛

And our teachers? They’re already doing what great teachers do.

Getting down on the floor.
Helping little ones feel safe.
Welcoming children back into familiar routines.
Introducing new experiences.
Watching, listening, encouraging, teaching—and probably answering approximately 847 questions before lunch. 😂

These first days matter. Before children can learn with us, they need to know they belong with us. That happens in hundreds of small moments between teachers and children throughout the day.

Twenty fall programs. Twenty years of first days. And somehow, the excitement of watching another year begin never gets old.

𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, 𝗞𝗣𝗧! 𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗢 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝘀. 🍎📚🐝💛

✨ 𝗔 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗞𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘀

As children grow, their classroom needs to grow with them.

Our school-age space is designed to give children something they need more and more as they get older: 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲. A place to build or create. A table to gather with friends. Space for games and challenges. A cozy spot to relax. Materials for imagination—and enough room to spread out when an idea gets BIG.

Because after a full day of school, children don't need another classroom asking them to sit still and follow someone else's agenda.

They need a place where they can reconnect with friends, decompress, explore what interests them, and decide what comes next.

Sometimes that means creating something incredible.

Sometimes it means an intense foosball match. 😂

And sometimes it means finding a comfortable spot and doing absolutely nothing for a little while.

All of those things belong here. 💛

🏫 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗜𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘂𝗺

Before a teacher asks the first question or begins the first activity, the environment is already teaching.

These spaces have been arranged so children can move, choose, create, collaborate, pretend, build, read, investigate—and know where they belong within the room.

There are places for big ideas and quiet moments. Spaces to work together and spaces to work independently. Materials children can see, reach, use, and eventually learn to care for themselves.

And perhaps most importantly, there is room for the classroom to change𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁.

Right now, everything looks wonderfully neat and organized. Give them a little time. 😂 Soon these spaces will be filled with half-built masterpieces, very serious pretend-play negotiations, books scattered around a cozy spot, projects that absolutely cannot be cleaned up because “we're still working on it!”—and all the wonderful evidence that children have made the space their own.

That's when a classroom really comes to life. 💛🐝

🎮 𝗔 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗜𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀! ✨

Before the children walk through the door, their classroom is already inviting them to do something important: 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲.

Choose a book. Build a road. Care for a baby. Create a story. Sit with a friend. Try something new. Return to something familiar.

A thoughtfully prepared classroom gives children the freedom to explore while still providing the predictability and organization that help them feel secure. Materials have a home. Spaces have a purpose. And there are plenty of possibilities waiting at child level.

Soon this room won't look nearly this tidy. 😂 There will be toys mid-adventure, books being read, elaborate plans unfolding on the floor, and children moving from “I wonder…” to “Look what I did!”

That's exactly what we're waiting for. 💛

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐊𝐏𝐓!

Today we celebrate a very special milestone- Sammy turns 19!

19 years ago, Kids Play Today opened as a Mommy and Me play center. One unit that taught about princesses, trucks, cooking, acting, and hosted the best treasure hunts a kid could ask for.

Today, that same building has expanded to a preschool for everyone from 6 months to 10 years. We’ve added 2 new units, an infant room, and three playgrounds. The first graduating class of Kids Play Today has graduated high school and is doing great things. We could not have expected to come this far and we could not have done it without the amazing community we’ve built.

A special thank you also goes out to Dr. Rosie and Mr. Neil, who have spent countless hours developing curriculum, training teachers, dedicating weekends and evenings to maintenance, keeping up with ever changing regulations, and stepping in wherever is needed to keep things running smoothly and bring back beloved events year after year.

Here’s to another year filled with laughter, love, and fun!

P.S. Can anyone tell where these locations are in present day KPT?

𝗔 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗜𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲! 🐝💛

There is something about an empty, freshly arranged classroom that feels full of possibility.

Before the children arrive, our teachers are already thinking about how they will move through the room, where they will gather, where they will build, pretend, read, create, rest, and find a little space of their own when they need it.

Every shelf moved, every center arranged, every material chosen and every little detail has a purpose: 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲, 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲, 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴.

And right now? It may look a little quiet.

But not for long. 😉

Soon these rugs will be covered with blocks and puzzles. The dramatic play area will have a story happening in every corner. The shelves won't stay quite this perfectly organized. 😂 And this room will be filled with conversations, discoveries, friendships, laughter, and learning.

Our teachers have been hard at work getting everything ready.

The classrooms are waiting.

The teachers are ready.

Now we just need the most important part — 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻.❤️

Here’s to a wonderful new school year at KPT! 🐝

🍎✏️ 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗜𝘀 𝗮 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘆! ✏️🍎

To all of our KPT kids heading off to school tomorrow — 𝗚𝗢𝗢𝗗 𝗟𝗨𝗖𝗞!💛

Some of you are walking into kindergarten for the very first time. Some are returning to familiar hallways a little taller, a little older, and ready for a brand-new year. And some of our former KPT kids are starting another chapter long after leaving our classrooms.

No matter where tomorrow takes you, we hope you walk through those doors knowing just how capable you are.

Be curious. Ask questions. Try things that feel hard. Make a new friend. Help someone who needs it. Laugh—a lot. And remember that making mistakes is part of figuring things out.

Parents, we know tomorrow can be a big day for you, too. ❤️ Whether you're celebrating, nervous, wondering how they possibly got this old already, or some combination of all three… we're cheering you on as well.

To every child beginning a new school year tomorrow: 𝗴𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲.

Your KPT family is cheering VERY loudly from here! 🎉🐝📚

𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘆! 💛

𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 | 𝗝𝗼𝘆 & 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 ☀️💦

This is what summer should feel like. ❤️

Towels spread out in the sunshine. Water everywhere. Dinosaurs getting a very thorough bath. 😂 Friends gathered together, making up games, talking, laughing, experimenting, and moving from one idea to the next.

There’s something special about the kind of play that happens when children have time, space, friends, and permission to just PLAY.

They turn a tub of water into an entire world. They settle onto towels together and create something from whatever is nearby. They gather inside and suddenly a few friends become a whole game.

No finished product required. No two children have to play the same way. Just childhood unfolding exactly as it should. ☀️

Those are the summer days we hope they remember. 💛
