July has come to an end. Here’s a look at what our classrooms explored this month:

🌼 The Meadow Room spent the month learning all about flowers and plants. Our babies loved exploring nature as they watched things bloom!

🌈 The River Room jumped into shapes and colors! They discovered the many shapes and colors they see every day, both in the classroom and out in the world.

🐞 The Mountain Room buzzed into insect learning! From beetles to butterflies and everything in between, they had so much fun discovering the tiny creatures around us.

🤝 The Ocean Room revisited community helpers and had a wonderful time learning about the people who help our community. They also focused on friendship and what it means to be a kind friend.

🏕️ The Forest Room spent the month camping! They learned all about the great outdoors, including camping safety, setting up a tent, camping food, and so much more.

💚 What a fun-filled month of learning, exploring, and growing! We can’t wait to see what August has in store for our little learners.

Summer has arrived! Here is how our summer started:

🍇The Meadow Room continued learning about community helpers and farming. They have been loving our warm weather!

🍉 The River Room is talking about all things summer and sunshine!

🍊 The Mountain Room focused on transportation this month! Planes, trains and everything in between! They loved playing with cars and listening to different vehicles sounds.

In the summer, we love to have a variety of different dress up days and activities for our Littles to participate in. Bike days, tea parties, mud days, and so much more!

This year, we did something extra special - face painting! 🎨🖌️

The amazing Ms. Kelli showed off her incredible artistic talents by painting our Lakes Littles, and even some of the teachers!

We feel so blessed to have the ability to create such fun memories for all of the children in our center 💙

Thank you Ms. Kelli for all of the fun you shared with us today!

May has come and gone and we want to share everything we did!

All of our classrooms focused on Community Helpers with an emphasis on farmers and gardening 🧑🏻‍🌾 They also discussed all of the changes that come with the end of spring and the beginning of summer ☀️

The Ocean and Forest Room started their garden - they are so excited to watch their plants grow! 🌱

Our geese friends had babies! This is our favorite part of this season. We love watching the babies grow! 🪿

Forest Class Pet, Kenny, went on a road trip and found a new friend - Craig! He brought Craig home with him and introduced him to all of the Forest Friends 💕
