Fork Flowers

At AOILV, we believe in the power of creativity to inspire young minds. This week, our little artists had a blast with a unique twist on traditional painting – fork stamping flowers! Instead of using paintbrushes, the children used forks to create beautiful, textured flowers that were as fun to make as they were to admire.

Bike Day

Hendersonville Bike Police Officers joined our students for BIKE DAY outside! We had a great morning riding around with the people that help keep our town safe! Thank you Hendersonville Police for enhancing our theme, "Things that Move!"

Louie the Leprechaun!

Last night, a visitor snuck through our school,A leprechaun tiny, tricky, and cool!He danced on tables, tipped over chairs,And left little footprints here and there! We set our traps both high and low,But that sneaky guy was too quick—oh no!He wiggled and giggled and dashed out of sight,Escaping our grasp in the morning light. Though we tried, we couldn’t succeed,That leprechaun’s just too tricky, indeed!But he left behind something bright and grand—A sprinkle of luck for each little hand! So home you go with a touch of cheer,A bit of luck for the whole next year!Maybe next time, we’ll catch him at last,But for now, we’ll smile at the fun that’s passed!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

Look who stopped by—what a sight to see! The Cat in the Hat came to AOILV! With a tip of his hat and a mischievous grin, He brought lots of giggles and fun right in! Stories and rhymes filled the air, With Thing 1 and Thing 2 dancing everywhere! Our preschoolers laughed, oh what a delight, As the Cat made their day extra bright! Books, imagination, and fun galore, At AOILV, we always love to explore! So hip-hip-hooray, a day oh-so grand, With Dr. Seuss magic right here firsthand!

Oscar Party!

AOILV was proud to host our 3rd Annual Oscar Party! The Oscars are an award ceremony celebrating excellence in our favorite movies! We are all celebrities at AOILV! Students walked the red carpet, avoided the paparazzi, collected their Oscar Award, and then headed to after party! Winners celebrated by toasting sparking grape juice!

Dental Health Month

In February, our health and safety focus was Dental Health! We invited Just 4 Kids pediatric dentistry to come on campus to discuss how sugar can damage our teeth! We learned about brushing techniques, songs, and how to floss! Thank you Just 4 Kids for also bringing a Dental Health Kit for each student! It's never too early to start taking care of your baby teeth!

Black History Month

We also learned that Barack Obama was the 44th President of the United States AND the 1st African American President in 2009!

Spreading Love!

Teachers participated in a "Love is Blind" competition. They were secretly tasked to write Valentines to each other! We even got the families involved by celebrating how much WE love the parents that we serve! We made our families dinner and also helped with drop off and pick up! It takes a village!

The Sweetheart Social

The Sweetheart Social is our Valentines Day Pick-Up Party! The Sweetheart Social is set up in our large Enrichment Classroom and is designed for families and learners to create memories together!

Love Potions

Students on campus mixed together love potions to spray on friends hands and hearts! Students chose between red, purple, or blue potion for their bottle. Then, they added some glitter and their favorite scented oil. Some students chose lavendar, some chose strawberry, and some chose chocolate! Students decorated their potion bottles and took them home! Did you know that if you spray a friend with your love potion they will give you a high five or a hug?! How LOVEly!
