Hello! North America!

North American Art is plentiful!  However, we decided to enjoy some local art that is "sandtastic".  The children created original sand sculptures with the abundance of sand that is found in their own backyard of Florida beaches! Take a look!

See the fabulous finished designs in the Exploratorium alcove.

                    A Happy Valentine's Day!

The children had so much fun delivering and receiving their Valentine's on Thursday last week.  They were sharing the love!!

I think you have my heart! :)

As the children entered the room on Valentine's Day they were given a necklace laced with half a heart.  In the spirit of LOVE and learning the FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT, they were asked to find the friend who was wearing the other half to their heart.  Once the two halves made a whole each child told their friend something they liked about him/her and offered a special hug to share the love!

The children loved sharing their special valentine's with family and friends! It was a day full of smiles! A bunch of "thank you's" go out to all of you who were able to attend and help to make our day LOVELY last week.

                        All About ASIA

This week the Junior Kindergarten journeyed to Asia to learn about hope and goodness in art.

They made paper lanterns as a sign in our center of hope, goodness  and thankfulness, always.

The children folded paper, cut slits in the middle, opened and decorated the paper using all sorts of different media then folded again from the other end to create a lantern effect.  Later, they added streamers to the bottom to finish the design.  They are hanging in the Exploratorium now to make you smile with their bright colors and happy message of hope, goodness and thankfulness.


Keep an eye out for a slideshow of the children telling stories  about designs they made with Chinese tangrams during exploring centers.

We have a lot of exciting things going on in our early childhood center.  Pay us a visit and check it out!
