The Growing Place

Our infants/toddler got to enjoy a fun water day! The tunes were flowing and the bubbles were blowing!

I wanted to take a moment and thank all of the parents that have been saving Metal jar lids for us. This is what we wanted them for. We love to be able to extend learning by using favorite materials in new ways. This is a great STEM activity. The students have also discovered that they can smell lids from the jars and are trying to predict what was in them.

You can't skip the foundation and expect the structure to stand.

Play, movement, relationships, and exploration aren't distractions from learning. They're the experiences that build the brain, body, and skills that make later learning (including academics) possible.

That sequence is not optional. It's not outdated. And it's not negotiable.

Please trust the process (and beauty) of development.

Schoolers this morning during centers! Today they will have their waterday in our playground with plenty of room to run and play.

We had a wonderful time yesterday, thank you for hosting us! We love participating in intergenerational activities.

Next round of water day! Our 2s classroom!! They had so much fun! Some preferred to be right in the middle of the sprinkler so I’m preferred to be with the bubbles or the play kitchen! We love that everybody had something they could enjoy and participate in! Core memories, unlocked!!

If you’re looking for care for your two-year-old, call us and schedule your tour! We would love to show you what we have to offer.

As a kindergarten teacher of five years, a mom that held two younger boys out of kindergarten and a preschool director of over 30 years, I have lots of information about this and would be happy to talk to anyone that would like more information.

1. The average five year old boy has the attention span of 10 to 15 minutes. The average kindergarten school day asks him to focus for six hours. We call it ADHD. It is actually just being five. 2. A Stanford study found that delaying kindergarten by one year reduced inattention and hyperactivity by 73% in the average child and that result held all the way to age 11. That is not a small effect. That is a transformation. 3. Boys’ brains develop language and fine motor skills up to two years behind girls on average. Kindergarten tests both. Then we label boys who fail them. 4. A landmark study tracking over three million kindergartners found that the academic advantage of starting school a year later fades by third grade. The mental health and self-regulation advantages do not. 5. The number one predictor of a boy being referred for ADHD evaluation is having a late summer birthday making him the youngest in his class. Not a disorder. A calendar problem. 6. Kindergarten today looks nothing like kindergarten 20 years ago. Recess has been cut. Worksheets replaced play. Sitting replaced moving. The curriculum changed. Normal boy behavior did not. Have you experienced this with your boy? Comment HEALTH to learn more about our new Raising Well platform and to jump into a 7 day free trial!
