April Recap and May News

In April our classes delved into the wonders of Australia and learned about environmental care and the three important R's such as reuse, recycle, and reduce. The children all had the opportunity to do so many hands-on activities to learn about the three R’s. Meanwhile, the week of the Young Child was a blast! Each day brought new themed activities: Sports Day, Wacky Hats & Crazy Hair, Picnic Fun, Superheroes & Princesses, and Pajama Day. It was so much fun and heartwarming seeing our children in the spirit, check out their photos on our social media. Finally, our annual Egg Hunt was a hit, the children learned through this activity about sharing and collaborating with one another. In cooking enrichment, the kids made tasty treats like rainbow fruit skewers and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom-inspired snacks. 



In May, we're diving into Dinosaurs and Africa while enjoying The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and exploring butterfly lifecycles through exciting activities.
