Little bookworms grow into big thinkers!📖🐛

Exposure to books helps children develop essential language skills, such as vocabulary, comprehension, and communication. This lays the foundation for future reading and academic success!

Books also foster a love for reading, spark imagination, and promote social-emotional growth.

Fall trees 🌳 🍁🍂

09/24/2025

Today we explored the colors of Fall: red, orange, yellow, and brown in a mess free way. The children used their fingers to move the paint around and watch the colors mix. A great sensory activity to do with littles. 🍁🍂

Today we talked about how in Fall the leaves on the trees change colors. 🍁🍂 We sang some Fall Leaves songs and named the colors. Each child held a leaf and named the color.

Songs provide a fun way for children to learn color names and associate them with objects, which fosters language development. 🎼🎵

The Tiny Little Apple Seed came to life today as our children sang along and followed its journey.

It’s more than just a song - it’s a fun way to spark curiosity, teach rhythm, and celebrate the wonder of nature! Perfect for circle time or family sing - alongs at home.🍎💕🎶 🌳

Today we cut open and Apple and examined the inside. We named all the apple parts we saw. Then we used half of an Apple 🍎 for Apple stamping. The key is cutting slits on each side of the Apple half so the children are able to place their fingers in the slits for better grasping of the slippery Apple.
