Garden Fillers

Tractor Supply Company generously provided all the supplies for our playground gardens. Their team also joined in the fun, showing kids how to plant and care for their flowers, and sharing why it’s important to take care of our environment—even in small ways. Tractor Supply Company was founded in 1938 as a mail-order catalog business for tractor parts. Today, it's one of America’s largest rural lifestyle retailers, with over 2,000 stores across the country—and a big heart for community projects just like this one. Events like this do more than teach children how plants grow—they plant seeds of curiosity, care, and responsibility that will bloom for years to come. Thanks to Tractor Supply Company, these preschoolers walked away with dirt under their nails, flowers in their hands, and a brand-new appreciation for the great outdoors.

Spring Kickoff

Hoppin’ into spring with the sweetest celebration! Our studets had an egg-stra special day hunting for colorful eggs scattered all around the playground. The excitement grew even bigger when a very special guest—the Bunny—hopped in to share some springtime cheer. Giggles, baskets full of surprises, and sunshine made it a day to remember. We’re still buzzing from all the bunny magic!

Kids Coachella

Our studets traded juice boxes for jam sessions at our very own KIDchella! With music, instruments, temporary tattoos, a bounce house, beach balls, and even lawn flamingos, the vibes were high and the fun was nonstop. Inspired by the famous Coachella festival, our tiny version brought big energy, bright colors, and lots of smiles. Every child was a VIP, and the memories made were nothing short of magical. Move over, Bonnaroo! KIDchella is the best festival in TN! Check out the scene on Tik Tok! the.academy.tn

The Masters PAR-TEE

AOILV's Oldest Tradition! A mini golf course was set up in our Enrichment Classroom for students to play a round! Students enjoyed Pimento Cheese Sandwiches for lunch. PM Snack was served on "The Green," our playground, and students made their own Caddy Crunch!

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!
