🐾 Happy National Wildlife Day! 🐾

Ask any child about their favorite animal and watch their whole face light up. That wonder is exactly what today is about. When kids learn about wildlife, they build empathy, curiosity, and a sense of responsibility for the world around them.

Cozy up with one of our favorite animal stories:

🐰 Ages 0–1: Baby Touch and Feel Animals by DK
🦦 Ages 2–3: I Love You Like No Otter by Rose Rossner
🐨 Ages 4–5: The Koala Who Could by Rachel Bright
🐸 Ages 6–8: Over and Under the Pond by Kate Messner

If your little one is a hands-on learner, spot some wildlife on a nature walk or draw your favorite animal! 🌿

Happy World Ocean Day! 🌊🦦

Today we’re celebrating our oceans, the animals who call them home, and the little learners who will help shape a brighter future.

At our school, we believe kindness extends beyond the classroom — to our friends, families, communities, and the world around us.

Looking for a simple way to celebrate with your child today? Try reading a book about ocean animals, taking a family walk to pick up litter, using a reusable water bottle, or talking about why clean water matters.

Small moments like these help children build curiosity, kindness, and care for the world around them. 💙

It’s Child Safety Week! 🛡️

Safety starts with the small things we practice every day: holding hands in the parking lot, walking feet in the classroom, kind reminders from teachers, and knowing when to ask a trusted adult for help.

We’re proud to create a safe, caring environment where children can explore, learn, and grow with confidence.

Today is National Day Without Child Care — a day that reminds us just how important child care is for families, children, and communities.

Our schools are open today, and we’re proud to continue supporting the families who rely on us each day. We also recognize the meaning behind this day and the awareness it brings to an important truth: child care is critical infrastructure that supports families, workplaces, and communities.

This effort also reinforces the need for greater investment in child care, so the cost of care does not continue to fall entirely on families and providers.

To our teachers and school teams: thank you for the love, patience, and care you bring into our classrooms every day. You make a difference for children and families in so many meaningful ways. 💙
