We've made a lot of changes to keep everyone safe. Some are big, and some are small. This is a great example of a small but important change we've made in our Kiddie Academy classrooms - we've switched from large sensory tables to individual bins. So, each child can still explore their 5 senses, now using their own personal sensory bin. We'll continue to focus on making our classrooms safe for all.
We're Here For You!
This Halloween, we're thanking our community's essential workers by dressing up like our local heroes! To join in the fun, help your child dress as their favorite essential worker for Halloween, post to social media and use the hashtag #realheroesofhalloween.
Here are some other ways you can celebrate the heroes in your community.
Today I Feel Silly helps kids explore, identify, and, even have fun with their ever-changing moods. Silly, cranky, excited, or sad—everyone has moods that can change each day.😆😀🙃 And that’s okay! 😜 A terrific complement to this month's Character Essentials theme - We Have Feelings.

Perfectly in tune with what kids are thankful for—such as a park, slides, and pets, and especially their family—Thanks for Thanksgiving is a warm and genuine book that shares the true Thanksgiving spirit with your child. ❤️📖

Even our youngest students are encouraged to express what they're thankful for. In this art project, our teachers added their responses to each child's adorable turkey puppets.
