Annual Christmas Program

Thank you to everyone who came to watch our annual Pre-K Christmas programs. All the kids did a fantastic job! And a special thanks to Ms. Sebrina, Ms. Hijaab, Ms. Robin and Ms. Kristen who practiced and practiced to make the programs such a success. AoCS is so lucky to have amazing teachers like you!

Magic Elf Seeds

Did you know there are such things as magic elf seeds?  AoCS kids do!  And we planted some today. Each child planted a magic elf seed before nap. During nap the magical elves turned those seeds into candy canes!  We couldn't believe it!

Saanvi shows off her magic seed. 

Addison can't wait to plant hers!

Seeds being planted. 

Patricia plants her seed while Lexi makes a wish on hers before planting. 

Careful planting going on!

Santa Visits!

The big man in red came to join us for breakfast!  The kiddos were so thrilled he made it all the way from the North Pole to AoCS!

Giving Back

Tis the season for togetherness and giving. Recently, AoCS hosted a candle donation drive for The Refuge Center, a local abuse therapy center. They will use these candles in their therapy sessions. We also donated the best gift of all...our time. We painted one of their new children therapy rooms. We were blessed to be able to partner with such an amazing organization.

Christmas Chefs!

It's Christmas time and we've been busy whipping up treats!  Here's Lena showing off her Rudolph donut. Plus William and Issac made some impressive edible Christmas trees. Nothing better than making specials treats...except maybe to eat them!  Merry Christmas from AoCS. 

Glow in the Dark Water Play!

Yesterday we continued our exploration of this month's curriculum theme of "Light and Dark" by having some fun with glow sticks!  We turned off the lights, cracked open some glow sticks, and dropped them in water to see how they would look!  Check out Preschool One conducting their experiement.  For more information on our curriculum visit www.highreach.com.  For more information on our program visit www.academychilddevelopment.com.

Special Hanukkah Snack

Today is the last day of Hanukkah. All of our classes talked about what Hanukkah is and special traditions Jewish people celebrate. For snack the kids got to make a special edible menorah. The menorah was made out of a banana, pretzel sticks and marshmallows. Everyone enjoyed this special treat.

How Many Peppermints?

The Acadmey Families loved the idea of guessing how many peppermints were in the jar. We had so many guesses.  Larkin  guessed 5.  Her mom told her to guess a really big number and she up'ed it to 25!  Congrats to the Limon family who guessed the closest and won a hot choclate gift basket.
