Our preschoolers had so much fun exploring the sensory bin and absolutely loved playing with the beans! 🌱 Sensory play is such a great way to encourage curiosity, creativity, and hands-on learning while letting little minds explore, scoop, pour, and discover. We love watching our preschoolers learn through play and enjoy every little moment of it

This testimony had our staff absolutely bawling. ❤️ It means more than words can say to know the love, trust, and support our families pour into The Orchard. We truly love each and every one of our families and kiddos so much. Watching these little ones grow, learn, and thrive is why we do what we do every single day. Thank you for trusting us to be a small part of their journey.

Today we’re holding space for Danny’s son and the impact his story has had on so many hearts. ❤️ While our little ones may be small, the love they have for Danny Go and the joy his family has brought into homes and classrooms everywhere is so big. Here at our center, we will continue to dance, sing, laugh, and move with the same joy and kindness that his legacy represents.

His light, love, and strength will live on through every giggle, every song, and every little heart he touched. Sending love and prayers to Danny and his family. 💛 dannygo_official

🐻 This week, our toddler theme was BEARS! 🐻🤎

We had so much fun diving into all things bears! Our little learners enjoyed reading Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and exploring colors, animals, and repetition through story time. 📚🌈

To continue our bear theme, the toddlers got hands-on with shaving cream sensory play while exploring colorful counting bears! They loved squishing, sorting, counting, and discovering different colors and textures. Activities like these help encourage sensory exploration, fine motor skills, and early learning—all while having so much fun! 🫧🐻✨

A week full of messy play, learning, and happy little smiles! 💛

“My son started out as a baby with Miss Sara and has since moved up to Miss Mina’s toddler room, and we have been so happy with the care given at The Orchard. He comes home every day with new words and skills that he has learned at daycare, and it is clear how much intentionality goes into teaching these kiddos. Every day when my son wakes up, one of the first things he does is excitedly yell “school time!” As a parent, it is so comforting to know that my child loves daycare so much, and we can drop him off every day without a worry in our minds that he is going to be safe, learn so much, and be loved on by all the staff. Our family cannot recommend The Orchard enough!”

These were a gift for Miss Jayden and Miss Tonya from a preschooler. She said they were pictures of us. When asked about the cross, she said "I drew a cross because you love Jesus, and you showed me to love Him too!" Everyday we are blessed to be able to share the love of Jesus with our children! We have limited spots in our preschool classroom. If you feel like our faith based, child led learning center would be a good fit for your family, call 402-316-1675 or email cctheorcharddirector@gmail.com to schedule a tour today!

Preschooler RyRy found a roly poly today and thought it wasn’t breathing, so he started giving it a little burial. Then Addison noticed it moving and said, “It died and came back alive like Jesus!” From that moment on, RyRy decided its name was “Roly Poly Jesus” and has been absolutely OBSESSED ever since. Kids never fail to amaze me, and God never stops revealing His goodness in the sweetest little moments. 🤍
