Green Our Scene

It’s never too early to get kids on the path toward sustainable living. Children at just about any age can learn about the importance of recycling and participate in family recycling efforts. Here at the Academy we do a theme on "Green Our Scene" where we teach the children about recycling and how it helps everyone around the world. They love learning about reduce, reuse, & recycling. Below is some helpful information about recycling!

A list of all the items you can recycle at home as a family!

Hey we use some of these items everyday, and now we can recycle them!

When we recycle it helps the whole wide world! Can you believe that?

We can also recycle material for super fun crafts! Check out this boat with sails made out of recycled materials!

Turning old materials into quick and fun games can be so easy! That's called reusing!

We can even recycle old crayons to bring to life some colorful new are projects.

We can all make the world a better place if we work together! We can do it!!!!

St. Patrick"s Day Celebration

Here at AoFC we love to party and celebrate different cultures. For our St. Patrick's day celebration our older classes enjoyed a Leprechaun/Clover hunt and even made traps for the Leprechauns! Those Leprechauns were very sneaky and quick because they all escaped! We know they were here though because they left footprints all over the place and turned some of our food GREEN! Our friends also got to enjoy some special activities in the enrichment room today as well.

Ms. Sara helping with Sensory Play for Tod 3!

This little guy is loving sensory play and digging for treasure.

PK1 is on the hunt to find out where these Leprechaun footprints lead.

PK1 didn't catch the Leprechaun but they did find a note that he left and some GOLD!

Sensory Play is so much fun!

The Naughty Leprechaun left a mess in PS3!

Our green lunch was so yummy!

Need A Night Out???

Need a date night? New to town? Don't have a sitter? Don't fret AoFC is here! We host a Parent's Night Out quarterly from 6pm-10pm. We serve dinner, watch a movie, do crafts, and for our little ones ranging from Infants-2 they also have cots available to start their bedtime when sleepy. Our older friends bring in sleeping bags, and pillows from home and are able to rest in our enrichment room or relax and enjoy a movie.

Read Across America

This week was read across America week and we definitely got into the spirit! We celebrated all week long with a Green Eggs & Ham breakfast, fancy sock day, a visit from the cat in the hat, grab and go snacks, and the amazing BOOK FAIR! We loved seeing all of the kids participate and have so much fun! Reading is such an important factor in promoting development within kids and we enjoy reading to them daily and getting to know their favorite stories and even watching the children read along & recall the story before we finish reading to them!

Oh! The Places You'll Go!

Absolutely love this Dr. Suess dress!

It's the cat in the hat!

Cat in the Hat with thing 2 & 3. Thing 1 went to kindergarten that day!

This past week we had a visit from Brentwood Pediatric Dentistry who taught us all about how to care for our teeth. They did a great job teaching us how to make good choices when eating and we even got to volunteer and help them out. We learned what foods stick to our teeth and which ones don't and are better for us to eat. We also got to read a book about Snappy the Crocodile who showed us just what to do when brushing our teeth. We loved having them here and even got goody bags with toothbrushes, stickers, and other goodies to take home with us! Thanks so much for visiting!

I wonder which foods are bad for us and which ones aren't!

Water is good for us and did not stick to our teeth.

Sweets are yummy but aren't good for us and stick to our teeth!

We loved reading about how Snappy Croc takes care of her teeth!

The dino that came to visit also showed us how he brushes his teeth.

We didn't forget to grab our goodies on the way out! We loved our new toothbrush!

Love Is In The Air

This week we held our annual Valentines Day ! Each of our classrooms held a party and card exchange and had a craft activity set up for some after party fun, while the Enrichment/Common Room was decked out with love. There were tons of sweet treats including cupcakes, and even a chocolate fountain with strawberries, graham crackers, and marshmallows for dipping. Our families loved the craft activities for their little ones which included a stamping station, tattoos, and make your Valentine's station. Of course who could leave without jumping in front on the photo booth and taking a keepsake picture! We had a blast celebrating love with each and everyone of our families.
