Our little Vermonters opened up shop! 🍁🥕🧡
To celebrate the culmination of our unit all about Vermont, our PreK friends hosted their very own Farmers Market—filled with creativity, hard work, imagination, and a whole lot of Vermont pride!
Our market featured vegetables harvested straight from our gardens, homemade art prints inspired by a Vermont artist, beaded jewelry crafted by little hands, and metal creations made with care and creativity. We even had homemade pancakes made from cardboard, nature, and maple syrup—because when you’re a preschooler, anything can become something delicious! 🥞😂
Our children also created signs to label their creations, giving them opportunities to practice early writing, communication, counting, and the many skills that come with running a little marketplace.
What we love most about this experience is that it brought together so much of what we value at SIL: children’s ideas, hands-on learning, creativity, nature, community, and the joy of making something with your own two hands.
A very special market for some very special little Vermonters. 💚🌲🍎

At SIL, imagination is one of our most powerful learning tools! 💭✨
Our classrooms have been transformed into hospitals, pizza restaurant, fancy dress-up spaces, and so much more as children explore the world through dramatic play. 👩‍⚕️🚒👗 Through these pretend scenarios, children practice communication, cooperation, problem-solving, empathy, and the many ways we can care for and contribute to our community.
We love watching children step into the roles of community helpers—caring for patients, responding to emergencies, dressing up, creating stories, and working together to make their imaginary worlds come to life. Dramatic play gives children the opportunity to try on new perspectives and make sense of the world around them.
And, of course, we continue to embrace every bit of outdoor learning that the changing seasons bring! 🍂🌿 From painting with brushes made from natural materials to simply exploring, moving, noticing, and playing outside, nature continues to be one of our favorite teachers.
At Sensations in Learning, we believe childhood should be filled with opportunities to imagine, create, explore, pretend, and wonder—in every season. ❤️

What’s better than traditional playground equipment? Natural materials that leave the possibilities endless. 🌿🪵

Stay tuned to see how this pile of stumps and tree cookies, transforms into a playground full of endless discoveries, creativity, and learning opportunities. We can’t wait to bring this vision to life!

At Sensations in Learning, there is always something growing, blooming, cooking, building, imagining, and wondering! 🌿✨

Our days have been filled with little scientists peering through magnifying glasses, busy workers using trucks to dig and clear our garden beds as we prepare them for the end of the growing season, and friends gathering for circle time under the open sky. 🔎🚜🌱

We’ve made nature pancakes and opened the most exclusive restaurant in town—where pancakes might cost 3 cents, 47 dollars, or even ONE MILLION DOLLARS! 🥞💰😂 We’ve built tree houses, cast magical spells, and followed our imaginations wherever they led us. 🌳🪄
We’ve also been busy in the kitchen, exploring vegetables prepared three different ways and welcoming a parent from our community to help us make challah bread as we learned about and celebrated Sukkot together. 🍞🌿 Our Sukkot celebration was a beautiful reminder that learning can happen through food, tradition, community, and shared experiences.

This is the magic of childhood at SIL: following curiosity, getting our hands dirty, making room for big imaginations, learning from one another, and finding wonder in the world right outside our door. ❤️🌎

Another season of growing—and we’re soaking up every moment!

At Sensations in Learning, we believe some of the most meaningful learning happens when children are free to imagine, explore, experiment, and wonder. 🌿✨

From imaginative play in the great outdoors, to gathering together for circle time, to little hands carefully using eye droppers and science tools to practice pouring—our days are filled with opportunities to learn through real experiences.

These moments may look like play, but they are building so much more: fine motor skills, coordination, communication, problem-solving, scientific thinking, creativity, confidence, and a deep connection to the natural world. 🌱🔬💧
In a nature-based early education environment, curiosity is our curriculum, the outdoors is our classroom, and every “I wonder…” is an invitation to learn.
