A Note from Our Principal,
Parent Survey
Our enrolled parent survey launches this Month. The survey provides the opportunity for you to give us feedback anonymously on our strengths and areas we can work on. Please keep an eye out!
Spring Break Camp
Our local school districts are closed for spring break, but our school-age program is open! We have an entire week of challenging, fun, and engaging activities planned for our school-age students. We cherish this time with our older students and would love for your child to attend. March 9-13, 2026
Parent Referral Bonus
Do you know a colleague who has recently had a baby, a friend in need of care who just relocated to the area, or a family member who is seeking a new preschool for their child? When you refer a friend and they enroll, you’re eligible for a free week of tuition. Ask us for details!
Did You Know? When children retell stories, they grow vocabulary, learn to sequentially describe events, and build the skills needed for fluent reading comprehension.
Summer Camp for School- Age
Registration for our Be Bold You Summer Camp is now open. The wait is over! There is nothing that compares to watching your child’s confidence grow and seeing them have fun and make friends. By enrolling, you’re giving them a summer they’ll never forget. Please contact us to learn more.
Kindly,
Marilyn Inghram-Williams M.S.Ed.
Illness Policy
Our parents are vital partners in helping us to maintain a safe and healthy environment for the students in our school. The most important thing you can do to assist us in creating a healthy environment is to keep your child home if they are ill. This reduces the spread of illness and allows your child to fully recuperate. Children may not attend school until they have been symptom free for 24 hours if they display any of the following:
St. Patrick Day Celebrations
We will be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day on Tuesday, March 17th. The children will have decorated GREEN cookies and milk for afternoon snack and participate in St. Patrick day -themed activities throughout the day.
Change of Clothing
Please make your child have a complete change of clothing in the cubbies.
Parent Refer
Refer a family and after the new family is with us for 90 days, you will receive and free week of tuition.
Naptime Gear
Please make sure you take home naptime gear on Friday’s or last day attending for the week to wash for the next week

Hands-On Activities to Teach Your Preschooler About the Environment
Children are programmed to explore and experiment with their environment from the very beginning, even as infants. The Scientific Exploration component of our Links to Learning curriculum supports the development of scientific inquiry and expands upon children’s natural curiosity. Science activities develop many important life skills, but the most important benefit for young children is teaching them how to think and develop a sense of curiosity and wonder.
Below are some hands-on, age-appropriate activities to spark wonder and learning in your child.
Infants (0-1 year)
Provide toys that have incremental sizes (nesting cups, stacking rings) and toys that allow for the discovery of cause and effect (pop-up toys, interactive sound books).
Toddlers (1-2 years)
Encourage your child to observe and explore natural materials indoors and outdoors. Make a telescope using a paper towel tube and encourage them to look for certain objects. For example, ask, “Do you see anything that is green?” or “Can you find any insects?”
Beginners (2-3 years)
Involve your child in observing events in nature and discuss the observations. Make a birdfeeder to hang in your backyard and ask your child “What is the bird doing?” or “Can you tell me what you see?”.
Intermediates (3-4 years)
Help your child learn about the five senses: see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. Encourage them to use their five senses when exploring objects. Go for a nature walk and listen to birds, look at the shape, color and speed of the clouds, smell the pine-scented air, feel the rough bark.
Pre-K/Pre-K 2 (4-5 years)
Build new structures with your child using various materials such as empty boxes or coffee cans, sticks, cardboard tubes, etc. Talk about what you see your child doing as they are building and ask open-ended questions.
Something for all ages!
Find opportunities to talk about the weather every day and make it relevant to your child’s real-life experiences and routines. An example for younger children is, “It’s cold outside. We will need to put on our hats, gloves, and coats before we go to the playground.” Once your child is old enough, have them evaluate the weather each morning. Based on their evaluations, allow them to determine what clothes to wear. Talk about the different choices of apparel and why they may or may not be appropriate.
