Happy Thanksgiving!!

It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is almost here! We have been busy teaching the children about Thanksgiving (although the depth of their understanding is still quite shallow)!! We have been talking about what we are thankful for and what we will eat! The children have made multiple turkey projects which have decorated the center the past week. Pictures will hopefully be posted soon of their projects!

We have also been teaching the children about giving/donating food. The children are starting to grasp the concept and have really enjoyed bringing canned items to put in our donation box that they got to decorate! We feel very fortunate to have all that we do and are excited to give to others while teaching the children about giving as well!

The holidays are approaching...

I am very excited that our theme for this week and next is THANKSGIVING!!! The holidays are such a wonderful time to spend with children as they are truly consumed in holiday excitement! We will be making multiple turkey crafts while also learning about what Thanksgiving is, why we celebrate it, and what foods we typically eat to celebrate it!! We will also be working on the children's understanding of being thankful and helpful to others. We will be collecting canned goods for donation next week as a way for the children to practice giving. We hope everyone is able to get in the Thanksgiving spirit in the next two weeks!!!

On an unrelated note, our LAST LITTLE TAILGATERS is THIS Saturday (Nov. 20th) from 4pm-10pm. Please let us know if you are interested in having your children attend!!!

Picnic in November?!!!

The children just LOVE to be outside so we were beside ourselves this week!! We played outside a long time (and were able to have a picnic) the past few days. We will take as many nice days as we can get before the cold comes!!

 The children were proud to peel their own bananas!

Little Tailgaters

We only have TWO Little Tailgaters left!

Our next one is THIS Saturday from 12:30pm - 6:30pm.

For $25 a child we provide 6 hours of fun!! We will be playing outside, doing crafts, and playing games. We will provide afternoon snack and dinner (as well as an afternoon nap time). Let us know if you would like to bring your child(ren)!!

A Day of Fun!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

The day was very fun! The children were adorable in their costumes and got to wear them in the morning and afternoon. The children loved all the crafts and activities that we did, the fun food, and the decorations!!

For the day of partying, we decorated trick-or-treat bags...

and we made masks...

and we ate YUMMY food!

We had Halloween cinnamon rolls for morning snack.

 We had "worms" and "mummies" for lunch.

For afternoon snack the children decorated (and ate) Halloween cookies and had cider!
