Better Together!

 What a fun day in the sunshine! Our teachers and staff LOVED their professional development and team building day at Camp Widjiwagon. We had the opportunity to participate in many fun team building activities that promoted clear communication and collaboration. We laughed and enjoyed a time to be silly and enjoy each other's company. We built each other up writing positive words and phrases on the cards of team members to let them know what we respect about one another. It is so nice to read words of encouragement from those that we work side-by-side with. Another portion of our day was getting to hear from Colleen Smith. She is a well-known author in our field of child development and is currently still working in the classroom. Our teachers took away many truths surrounding working with children, self-care, and age appropriate expectations in the classroom. We left feeling empowered to help our children find their own voice and use it in big ways! All of this would not be possible without the support and hard work of our NGU Management team. We are fortunate to work for a company that places priority on continued education for our teachers and making work an enjoyable to place to be!

Bike Day!

 We are thrilled that the sun is shining and the weather is warming up! Our Pre K kiddos have started their weekly bike days and they are having a ton of fun with it! It is such a good work out for them and a nice change of pace from their typical outdoor play time. From just a few weeks of practicing regularly, we already have friends taking their training wheels off and moving from scooters to bikes! Witnessing them building their confidence and encouraging their classmates along is a really special moment to be apart of. We look forward to many more sunshiney days ahead for our bike days!

Sprouts Play Den - Toddler Fun

Our Toddlers enjoyed an extra gross motor activity outside in the sun today! New environments can be a little scary at first, and this new play gym was no different. Children explored a ball pit, a bounce house, climbing structures, and slides! They depended on their teachers for comfort and guidance as they became more and more brave! After a few minutes they were actively using the equipment, giggling, and looking at their teachers with pride! Spouts Play Den brought exactly what they needed on a sunny morning! Our school loves to host special guests and activities that enrich the development of all ages!
