More Power of Nature Highlights

Our nature week was so much fun we have to post again to show all that we did!  From digging in the dirt to tree rubbings, natural art and a visit from the Nashville Zoo...it was an amazing week reconnecting with our nature side.

Pre-K Graduation 2017

Graduation day is always bittersweet for us.  We are so proud of our graduates and they amazing students they have become.  But we will certainly miss seeing them every day.  Congrats to all of our graduates! We wish you well. 

The Power of Nature

Children and nature go together—or should. Recent studies document the importance of introducing children to the natural world, beginning in the early years. Their social, emotional, and physical health depends on this exposure to develop. Humans are hardwired to need nature—because we are part of it. 

This week we are exploring the Power of Nature.  Our Pre-K 2 class took advantage of the cooler weather to head outside and explore nature.  They had their morning circle time outside and talked about the weather and all of the sounds and sights they saw in nature.  Then, they headed off to the playground to do some tree bark rubbings and to go on a nature walk.

Pre-K One Pool Party

Pre-K One had so much fun at their first pool party that they decided to do it again!  And this time they had the splash pad open.  What a great night full of family fun.
