✏️🎨 Why Process Art, and Pencil Use Matter

🖌️ Process art gives children the freedom to create without pressure or expectation of a final product. When children are invited to explore materials—such as pencils, crayons, and markers—the focus is on the experience, not perfection.

✏️ Using pencils plays an important role in development. As children grasp, press, scribble, and draw, they strengthen the small muscles in their hands and fingers. These movements support:

✋ Fine motor strength and hand control
👀 Hand-eye coordination
🧠 Brain development and early writing skills
✨ Proper pencil grip over time
💬 Self-expression and communication

🎭 In a process art approach, pencils are tools for exploration, not tools for correctness. Children may press hard, draw lightly, change directions, or create marks that don’t “look like” anything yet. All of this is meaningful learning.

🖍️ When educators value process over product, children feel confident to take risks, explore freely, and develop skills at their own pace. Pencil use in process art builds the foundation for writing, creativity, and lifelong learning.

🌈 At Celebree School of Pike Creek, honoring the process whether through art or early writing tools creates strong, capable, and confident learners ✨

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 🙏

Dr. King believed in a world guided by kindness, courage, and fairness: values that begin taking shape in early childhood. When we talk with children about standing up for what’s right, treating others with respect, and leading with empathy, we help plant the seeds of his dream in the next generation.

At Celebree School of Pike Creek, we strive to create spaces where every child feels seen, valued, and safe to be exactly who they are. By teaching inclusion, compassion, and understanding early, we’re helping children grow into thoughtful humans who know the power of their words and actions. 💚💙

Celebree School of Pike Creek is all about purposeful play and learning through play, which is why the children in our care will always be learning even when they don't even know it!

Learning how objects of a smaller size can fit into an object of a bigger size and what happens when you stack the objects on top of each other, learning about cause and effect as well as persistence when it comes to figuring out which size goes into the other!

Children may not understand time yet, but they deeply understand routine. ⏰ Knowing what comes next gives them a sense of safety, structure, and confidence as they move through their day.

That’s why visual schedules are such an important part of daily life at Celebree School of Pike Creek.

Using pictures AND words, we help children see the flow of their day: what’s happening now, what’s coming next, and how everything fits together. 🖼️ This predictability reduces anxiety, supports independence, and allows children to focus on what they do best: learn through play. Because when children feel secure in their environment and their routine, they’re more willing to explore, engage, and take ownership of their day.

💚 Last Day of Open House!💚

Want to know what a day at Celebree really looks like? Come see for yourself, stop by our Open House tomorrow morning from 9a-12p.

To your child, it feels like play. To us, it’s purposeful, powerful growth.

At Celebree, every day is filled with moments that shape who your child is becoming. From the giggles during group games to the quiet pride after zipping up their own coat, our students are learning independence, empathy, resilience—and yes, plenty of early math, literacy, and science, too.

But it’s not just what they learn. It’s how they feel while they’re learning: safe, seen, and celebrated for exactly who they are.

Yes, that's right. Your child’s first five years will shape their next fifty. 🧠

By age five, a child’s brain reaches about 90% of its adult size...meaning the foundation for learning, emotional regulation, and relationships is being built at a pace that will never happen again.

That’s why every single day in early childhood is so critical; they’re constantly wiring their brains. The way they’re comforted, spoken to, encouraged to try again, invited into play, and supported through big feelings becomes the blueprint for how they handle challenges, connect with others, and see themselves for years to come.

At Celebree School of Pike Creek, our early childhood education programs make the first five years count through purposeful play, nurturing relationships, and a whole-child educational approach that supports social-emotional growth. Because early childhood isn’t just preparation for school—it’s the foundation for a lifetime. 💙💚

Positive Impacts of Gross Motor Exercise!!!

Gross motor development: Activities like stepping, balancing, and moving through hoops strengthen large muscle groups, improve coordination, balance, and body awareness, key foundations for lifelong physical skills.

Social growth: Children practice listening, taking turns, and following directions while participating together, building cooperation, respect, and teamwork.

Emotional growth: Successfully completing movements boosts confidence and self-esteem. The supportive environment encourages children to try new skills and develop persistence.

Independence: By observing and then completing movements on their own, children build confidence in their abilities and learn to move safely and independently.

💙 Gross motor play supports the whole child physically, socially, emotionally, and independently!
