🏙️ Happy National Skyscraper Day! 🏙️

We’re taking today’s celebration to new heights! ⬆️

This summer, our LEGO® Challenges students put their creativity and engineering skills to work building some pretty impressive structures. So, for National Skyscraper Day, we have a challenge for our Kids at College families:

🧱 Can you build a LEGO® skyscraper?

Think like an engineer! How tall can you make it? How will you keep it from falling over? Can you add windows, balconies, or something completely unexpected?

Then we want to see what your young builder creates! 📸 Post a picture of their skyscraper in the comments!

We’re sharing a few creations from our LEGO® Challenges class this summer to provide a little inspiration. 💙

Ready, set... BUILD! 🧱🏙️

💙 This is why we do what we do. 💙

There’s nothing better than hearing that a student had an amazing time at Kids at College — except maybe hearing that they’re already talking about coming back! 🥰

And as parents ourselves, we know how important it is to feel confident that your child is in a safe, organized, and welcoming environment while they’re with us.

Thank you to our Kids at College families for trusting us with your kids, cheering us on, and sharing your experiences. Your words mean more to our team than you know. 💙

We can’t wait to make more memories next summer! 🦅

🐾 Happy National Dog Day! 🐾

There’s something you may not know about the Kids at College team…

We LOVE your dogs! 🐶💙

One of our favorite parts of car line is spotting all those furry passengers who come along for drop-off and pick-up. Whether they’re hanging their head out the window, supervising from the back seat, or just along for the ride, they always make us smile!

So today, we want to see them! 📸

🐕 Drop a picture of your precious pooch in the comments and introduce us to your favorite four-legged family member!

Bonus points if they’re one of our official Kids at College car-line pups! 😉🐾

💙 From Our Families 💙

There are so many things we want our students to experience at Kids at College—learning, exploring, creating, making friends and having FUN!

But none of that matters unless they also feel safe, supported and cared for.

Feedback like this means so much to our team. 💙🦅

✈️ Happy National Aviation Day! ✈️

Does your child dream of taking to the skies someday? ☁️

At Kids at College, we love watching kids discover new interests, dream BIG, and begin imagining what their futures might look like. And for some of our future Eagles, that dream might just include a view from the cockpit! 🛫

Parents, did you know that Polk State College has an Aerospace program with pathways that can prepare students for careers in aviation — including becoming a professional pilot?

The kid who can’t stop looking up at airplanes today could be the one flying them tomorrow. 💙🦅

Dream big. Aim high. Soar higher. ✈️

🦎 Happy World Lizard Day! 🦎

We couldn’t let today go by without showing off one of our favorite Kids at College classmates! 💚

Our “amp’d up lizards” — aka bearded dragons — were a BIG hit in Radical Reptiles this summer. Students got an up-close look at these fascinating reptiles while learning about their behaviors, adaptations, and what makes them so unique.

Because at Kids at College, sometimes learning has scales! 🦎✨
