What’s Happening!

1s and 1.5s: This week, our youngest learners had an absolute blast getting messy with paint! They turned their creative fun into adorable keepsakes by painting their little feet in preparation for Turkey Day. The result? Happy, paint-covered toes and big, joyful smiles that warmed everyone’s hearts. The sensory experience of feeling the cool paint and seeing the colors blend added an extra layer of excitement to their day. Teachers and parents alike loved seeing the little ones’ masterpieces, and these cherished keepsakes will undoubtedly become treasured memories for years to come.

2s: Our 2-year-olds immersed themselves in the enchanting world of stories and songs. With a special focus on literacy, circle time became an even more magical part of their day. Each morning began with a selection of beloved storybooks, complete with lively readings that captured their imaginations. Alongside the stories, they sang songs that reinforced new words and concepts, enhancing their language development. Their growing enthusiasm for books and learning is inspiring and sets the stage for their budding love of reading. By the end of the week, it was clear that story time had become a highlight, fostering not just fun but valuable communication and listening skills.

Preschool: In Preschool, our children were introduced to the exciting basics of chess! Through hands-on activities, they explored strategies and learned the fundamentals of this classic game. Teachers guided them through understanding how different pieces move, encouraging the children to think ahead and consider their next move. The children’s engagement was palpable, with little hands eagerly arranging pieces and trying out their newfound knowledge. It’s been wonderful to see them develop their critical thinking skills, one thoughtful move at a time. This introduction to chess not only boosts cognitive skills but also promotes patience, concentration, and problem-solving abilities. By fostering an early appreciation for strategic games, we’re helping build a strong foundation for logical thinking and cooperative play.

Another week full of learning, laughter, and growth at Little Monsters Daycare! From colorful creations to captivating stories and strategic play, our little ones continue to shine and make each day an adventure filled with joy and discovery
