Help us celebrate Ms. JR, TLE South Lyon West’s Teacher of the Month! 🎉🧡

Ms. JR is someone our team can always count on to jump in, lend a helping hand, and support wherever she’s needed. Whether she’s helping in a classroom, spending time with the kiddos, or taking on something new, she does it all with a happy heart and positive attitude.

Her kindness, patience, and caring personality make her such a special part of our TLE family. Our little learners love spending time with her, and we’re so grateful for all the ways she goes above and beyond to support our team and center!

Congratulations, Ms. JR! We appreciate you more than you know!

📸💙 Show & Tell!

We brought in brought in baby pictures for Show & Tell at TLE South Lyon West — and last week, preschool had two very special guests for Learning Bag: Miss Melissa and Miss Liz! 🥹

We loved seeing everyone’s baby pictures and hearing the stories that went along with them. Such a fun way to share, connect, and learn a little more about the people in our TLE family! 🫶🏻

A little look at our First Day of Phonics! 🔤💙

Our little learners recently kicked off their phonics journey with Phonics with Phoebe and a special focus on the letter A! They explored their phonics kits, practiced with readers and workbooks, searched for A’s, learned through sign language, and even joined in with the alphabet rap.

We love making early literacy fun, interactive, and hands-on as our little learners build confidence with letters and sounds! 🫶🏻

POV: You scored tickets to the coolest concert in town. 🎟️🎶

Our Little Musicians enrichment program is in full swing at TLE! 🎵

Behind all the music and fun, children are:
🥁 Exploring new sounds and instruments
🧠 Building cognitive skills by learning about rhythm and keeping a beat
💪 Strengthening fine and gross motor skills through hands-on musical play
💛 Building social-emotional skills through songs and shared musical experiences

Looks like we’ve got some rising stars on our hands! ⭐🎶

It's fall, ya'll! 🍂

We're fully embracing the season here at The Learning Experience! 🤩

Fall comes with so many exciting opportunities to learn. 🌱 As part of our My Emotions and Feelings curriculum theme, little ones will explore the sights, textures, and sounds of fall through hands-on experiences with seasonal materials, giving them plenty of opportunities to discover, create, and connect their learning to the world around them.

What's your family's favorite fall tradition? Tell us in the comments! 👇🍂

Big feelings are part of growing up! 💛😊

This October, our little learners here at The Learning Experience are diving into My Emotions and Feelings, a curriculum theme designed to help children better understand what they’re feeling, express themselves, and build the social-emotional skills they’ll use every day. 🌈💬

With Miss Chievous by their side, children will explore the many emotions they experience and discover simple ways to navigate big feelings. ✨

Learning how to understand our feelings is an important part of learning how to care for ourselves, connect with others, and grow with confidence. 💕 We can't wait to see what this month of exploration and discovery brings! 🌱
