Bike Day

At our preschool, one of the highlights of the year is Bike Day! It’s a day full of fun, learning, and excitement, where kids get to ride bikes, trikes, and scooters in a safe and friendly environment.

 

Leprachaun visit

This St. Patrick’s Day, The Academy got a surprise visit from a sneaky leprechaun! Instead of causing trouble, this little leprechaun spread joy by bringing treats and gifts for all the students and teachers.

Read Across America- Special Guest Readers

 At The Academy, we are always looking for ways to create memorable learning experiences for our little ones, and this week, we were truly lucky to have our favorite guest readers from Senior Living visit us! Their visit was not only an exciting time for our children but for them as well.

For the senior guests, it’s just as meaningful. Coming into the classroom and reading to the children allows them to connect with a younger generation, to share their love for reading, and to see the joy their stories bring to the kids. The bond that forms between them is heartwarming, and it creates lasting memories for everyone involved.

We are so grateful for these wonderful visits, and we look forward to many more in the future. It’s these moments that truly highlight the magic of community and the power of storytelling, reminding us that stories have the ability to connect people of all ages and backgrounds.

Until next time, we’ll continue cherishing these beautiful connections and celebrating the joy that reading brings!

Fire Drill

 Emergencies, particularly fires, can strike at any time, and it’s crucial that every environment, especially those with children, is well-prepared. It is important to conduct our drill when the children are present, ensuring that both staff and children are prepared for such events can make a life-saving difference. One of the most effective ways to ensure preparedness is by conducting monthly fire drills.

Celebrating Our Incredible Teachers: February Anniversaries!

 February is a month filled with love, appreciation, and reflection—and this year, we're especially excited to celebrate the amazing milestones of three of our dedicated teachers! We’re thrilled to honor their hard work, commitment, and passion for shaping the minds and hearts of our students. Let’s take a moment to celebrate Ms. Regina, Ms. Leslie, and Ms. Casey for the wonderful years they've spent with us and all the incredible things they have in store for 2025!

A huge congratulations to Ms. Regina for marking an incredible 17 years with our academy! For nearly two decades, Ms. Regina has been a cornerstone of our school, inspiring students and colleagues alike.

Next up, Ms. Leslie is celebrating 4 amazing years with us! In this short time, er energy, enthusiasm, and creative teaching methods have inspired students.

Finally, we’re celebrating Ms. Casey, who has just completed her first year with us! What a remarkable journey it’s been so far. In just one year, Ms. Casey has proven herself to be an incredible asset to our team.

Spoiled Rotten Director Panel

 We are beyond excited to share that  Ms. Michele experienced: being invited to join the Director's Panel with Spoiled Rotten Photography!

One of the highlights of Ms. Michele's time on the panel was explaining why we love working with Will Smith, the owner of Spoiled Rotten Photography. With his team’s professionalism, eye for detail, and ability to make children feel at ease, it's no surprise we trust them to capture some of the most cherished moments of our preschool journey. From the excitement of school pictures to the heartwarming seasonal photo shoots, Spoiled Rotten Photography brings out the best in our students, making them feel like stars!

Ms. Michele was excited to share  how we foster these lasting collaborations, and was more than happy to share her experience and enthusiasm for the partnership.

Super Bowl Tailgate

We may be too young to tailgate in the traditional sense, but that doesn’t stop us from having a blast!

Everyone loves a good game, and at our preschool, we're getting involved in the excitement by voting for who we think will win the Super Bowl! 🏆 Before the game, each child will get to choose their favorite team—whether it's the Eagles, Chiefs, or another team—and cast their vote. It's a fun way to teach them about teamwork, decisions, and how to share their opinions. We even got to enjoy some yummy Super Bowl treats!

Cap and Gown Pictures

 There’s something magical about the moment when your little one steps into a cap and gown for the first time. It's not just a milestone in their educational journey—it's a celebration of growth, laughter, and everything that makes their first year of school so special. 

The Academy has teamed up with Spoiled Rotten Photography to capture these precious moments for our Pre-K students, and the results are absolutely unforgettable.

Parents Night Out

 Parenting can be a full-time job. Between work, school runs, extracurricular activities, and keeping up with household duties, parents often find themselves juggling multiple responsibilities. But every now and then, everyone needs a break — and that’s where The Academy's Parent's Night Out comes in.

The beauty of Parent's Night Out is that while parents are out enjoying their evening, their children are having a blast! Kids are invited to participate in fun activities, including arts and crafts, games, and even a movie night. The Academy ensures a safe and supervised environment with trusted staff members, so parents can leave their kids in good hands while they enjoy some much-needed "me time."

Frosted Family Creations

 Snowflakes are a magical part of winter. Each one is different, just like every family member’s creativity! Whether it’s a classic paper snowflake, a glittery creation, or something totally unique, the possibilities are endless. Plus, creating something together is a great way to bond as a family while sparking your little ones’ imaginations.

We loved to see all our families come together and what they created. Ms. Lei's snowflake received the most votes and won our family engagement for January!
