We are excited to share several recent updates at our Peak Ave campus that support safe, comfortable, and engaging outdoor play for our children. The exterior of the building has been refreshed with updated paint. This work gives the campus a clean, welcoming look and reflects the care our teaching team puts into every part of the child’s environment. In the play yard, new bark has been added to the playground area. This creates a softer surface for active movement, climbing, and exploration while supporting safety during outdoor work and play. A

Happy holidays! As we head into this joyful (and sometimes very exciting!) break, we wanted to share a few simple ideas that make an enormous difference in helping our young children feel calm, regulated, and ready to learn when we all come back together in January. The holiday season often means later bedtimes, more screens, visitors, and changes in routine; all of which are fun but can make little bodies and brains feel a bit “wobbly” when school starts again. Even small steps toward these habits over the next few weeks help

Guided by our teachers, they had the chance to ask questions, solve problems, and discover new ideas while working together. This field trip was a wonderful opportunity for our students to see how learning happens everywhere. We

Our Kindergarten students spent a wonderful day at Ardenwood Historic Farm on November 6th. This special field trip gave them the chance to step back in time and see what life was like on a working farm.

Our teaching team encouraged children to notice details, share observations, and reflect on what they
