Pre K Prom

 It was a giddy up good time on Friday at AOFC for the annual Pre K prom, this year's theme was Cowboy's and Cowgirl's voted on by the Pre K classes.  Everyone arrived shouting Yee-Haw, with boots clicking and hats flying,  they were ready to two step as they came in the doors and followed the path to the decked out Enrichment Room.  Balloon animals, swords, and wands are just a few of the things that were requested from our awesome Balloon artist Mr. Rodney.  DJ Chris was making sure everyone hit the dance floor with his mix of country songs as well as the ones popular among the Pre K's and no one stopped dancing until the music did.  The Pre K's came , they sang , they danced all the way to the very end of the night.  Lots of smiles, hugs, thank-you's and high fives were given as the cowboy's and cowgirl's left for the night and it was definitely a fun night for all!

Muffins with Moms

 We celebrated a very special day at AOFC one where we honored all the amazing women that come in our doors each day and entrust their little ones to us.  Muffins with Moms was a huge success and all the kids were so excited to give their mom the handmade gift that they made each one unique in its own way. There were lots of smiles, hugs, and muffins given out at our annual Muffins for Moms event to honor all our AOFC moms for Mother's Day.  We love our moms at AOFC! 

Our moms are so lovely!

April Showers bring May flowers!

 We are blooming at AOFC from handprint flowers to hand drawn flowers, our classrooms are all decked out in their own colorful versions of May flowers.  Our walls, classrooms, bulletin boards are all blooming with special flower creations from the kids and even teachers which has lead to the burning question, What is your favorite flower?!  Tulips, daisies, roses, lilies just to name a few, are just some of the favorites rounding out the top of the list for most of our educators. Everything is coming up Roses at AOFC and we can't wait to see what the rest of May brings us!  Happy Spring!

Flower power! 

Little feet make cute flowers!

Being green at AOFC

 We are all about the green scene here at AOFC from planting seeds and forming a hypothesis about how long it will take the seeds to sprout, celebrating Earth Day while having a special snack and enjoying all things that the trees, grass and dirt offer outside.   Learing about how plants grow , taking care of them and finding out what the seeds will produce is the most exciting part of the whole process.   Taking care of the Earth is a very special and important job that our AOFC families cherish each day.  We love being green! 

 They are growing! 

Look  a tiny bug! 

Delicious "dirt" snack for Earth Day!

Who knew "dirt' was so yummy?!

Easter Festivities

 We have been busy the last few days at AOFC celebrating Easter with all kinds of fun activities like an Easter party with the Easter Bunny,  all kinds of yummy treats and fun crafts as well as a huge Easter egg hunt with Eggs galore! Everyone had so much fun running, finding and filling up baskets with Eggs and squealing with excitement ready to check out all cool little treats in each one. It was the best week ever and we look forward to the upcoming Easter holiday! Happy Easter everyone!
