The best time of the year is finally upon us. It's summer time in Tennessee y'all! One of the most exciting parts about summertime with the Academy is water day. Every summer we pull out all of our water tables, water toys, sprinklers, and a giant water slide and choose one day of every week to just let the kiddos live their best life! The children look forward to these days all year long, and when the time finally comes, it's game on! This past Friday, we had our first water day of the summer and let me tell you... it was the BEST. The sun was shining, you could smell the sunscreen in the air, and all you could hear was pure joy in laughter. Our older crew gets to use the giant water slide which has been the biggest hit ever since we first introduced it. They love using their muscles to climb up the stairs to the very top, then slide down to the bottom where they get soaked with water! Our younger friends enjoy multiple fun water tables with floating blocks, boats and cars, lots of cups for water dumping, and sprinklers! You could just tell how much our toddlers enjoyed this day. There was no water left in the tables after they were finished! They loved splashing the water all over themselves along with their friends. Water play greatly helps our young toddlers with creativity and imagination. It also helps with hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills by doing things such as dumping water, pouring water, and switching water from cup to cup! Theres so many different textures for them to feel like slippery and slimy toys. Water day is truly one of the most fun things that the Academy gets to put on every summer and our kiddos just truly love it. The first water day of the year was such a success, so let summertime at AoFC commence! Happy summer y'all!
