Welcome to the Wild, Wild, West!

We saddled up for a rootin’-tootin’ good time during Wild West Week! Our little cowpokes put on their boots and hats and explored all things western in a week packed with discovery, imagination, and frontier fun. We moseyed on over to our Wild West Watering Hole sensory station, where students experimented with pouring, scooping, and splashing — just like old-timey ranchers cooling off after a long day on the dusty trail! Next stop on our adventure? A hands-on cactus exploration! From feeling the “spikes” on our pretend cactus crafts to learning about desert plants, our students got a taste of life in the dry and dusty wild. And of course, the week wouldn’t be complete without Cowboy Day! Our school was filled with mini sheriffs, outlaws (the friendly kind!), and wranglers ready for a hoedown. We practiced lasso skills, rode imaginary horses, and even learned a few yee-haw-worthy dance moves.

Wild West Week was a gold mine of giggles and growing minds! Until next time, happy trails, partners! 🌵🐴⭐

We ARE America!

Our preschoolers proudly celebrated all things red, white, and blue during our We Are America theme! From stars-and-stripes painting to sparkly firework art, the creativity was bursting like a Fourth of July sky! Our halls were filled with patriotic pride, and the excitement only grew when magician Bruce Amato stopped by to dazzle us with his star-spangled tricks. The kids were amazed, laughing and cheering through every magical moment! To top it all off, we held a Patriotic Bike Parade! Our little riders rolled through in style with streamers, flags, and festive gear — it was a true red, white, and woo-hoo moment! What a fun way to honor our country and celebrate community, creativity, and childhood joy. We are America — and we’re proud of it!

Let's BUILD!

During LET'S BUILD week at The Academy, we were under construction—preschool style! 🏗️ Our little builders had been hard at work exploring the world of construction through hands-on, play-based learning. From digging into construction-themed sensory bins to drafting their own blueprints, students are designing, stacking, building, and imagining big! They constructed towers out of blocks, roads out of recycled materials, and masterpieces with magnetic tiles, our classrooms were buzzing with creativity and collaboration. It’s more than just fun!! Our builders are strengthening fine motor skills, practicing problem-solving, and learning the value of teamwork. We’re laying the foundation for bright futures, one block at a time. Let’s build!
