🌸 Spring has officially sprung in preschool! 🌸 Our classroom is buzzing with excitement (and maybe a few wiggles 🐛). We’ve been busy learning all about new life with our adorable chicks and some very wiggly worms! 🐥🐛 From gentle chick snuggles to hands-on worm investigations, our little learners are discovering just how amazing spring can be. 🌱💛 It’s safe to say… things are getting a little chirpy and a little squirmy around here! 😄 #SpringHasSprung #PreschoolFun #LittleLearners #HandsOnLearning

🏁 Full Throttle Fun with Teammates! 🏁

Our Teammates Full Throttle event was a huge success! Mentors and mentees were each given a supply list and instructions, then challenged to build their very own race car out of a pop bottle. The creativity and teamwork were incredible to see!

On Monday night, we put those cars to the test with both a mentor race and a mentee race—and the competition was fierce!

🏆 Congratulations to our winners:
✨ Mentor Champion: Renee
✨ Mentee Champion: McKenzi

Way to go everyone who participated—we loved seeing the energy, effort, and fun from all involved!
