THANKING 2021, WELCOMING 2022

HELLO, 2022!!!

As we say goodbye to 2021, we're looking back on what a year it was for our Academy family and yours. We are so very thankful for each and every one of you here at AOILV. We have welcomed so many new faces to our Academy family and watched new additions get added to some of our families. We've had fun every day and can't wait to continue to watch your little ones grow through 2022. We are a very blessed group and love seeing your smiling faces every day!

2022 is going to begin with some big changes at our center but we are ready to embrace all of the good this next year will have to offer for us. We are so thankful for Ms. Robyn and everything she has done for us in her time here at AOILV and we are sending her so much love and luck on her new journey. We are going to soak up all the time we have left with her and welcome our new director with open arms. 

Thank you Academy families for a phenomenal year. 

Here's to 2022!!!

Enrichment Time Smiles

Enrichment Time Fun!

Our toddlers have been LOVING our Enrichment Time lately!

 We have even been spending some of our Enrichment Time outside while the weather is still nice!

 

Season for Giving

 We have our Annual Canned Food Drive! Our classes are each competing to collect the most cans. The two classes that collect the most will win a classroom party! At the end, we will be donating all collected food to a Women's Shelter downtown Nashville. We are blessed to have families so willingly to contribute!

Our kiddos are enjoying the little bit of warmer weather we have left! We love some outside picture!!

Fall Fest and More Spooktacular Activates!

 

Last week was FILLED with so much fun!

We had our annual Fall Fest and it was a big HIT. There was a petting zoo in our parking lot that the kids went crazy for.

They brought chickens, lambs, goats and a baby yak! The kids and parents had a great time feeding all the animals.

We also had a balloon artist and some one who came in and did face paint.

Can't wait for next year!

Friday was filled with the Halloween spirit. Lots of cute trick or treaters came to visit and afternoon parties were a lot of fun!

Come join us next year!

Falling into this Week!

 This week has been a great one! 

We had chocolate covered pretzels as a yummy to go snack.

We also had Mr. Joe Morgan come and read to our classes as a special guest reader.

Lots of dress up days with Career Day and Jersey Friday!

Can't wait to see what next week has in store!!

Silly Smiles

 

There is nothing more contagious than a child's smile! Joy can be spread so easily by just sharing with others! 

Share a meal!

Share a laugh! 

Creativity sparks our imagination. Coloring our hair allows us to express ourselves while having fun. For crazy hair day, some chose their favorite color, or a mix of them. The possibilities were endless! Let's create, imagine, and spray some hair!

Pretty in pink!
