Happy 1 year Work Anniversary, Ms. Nyah!

If you’ve spent even five minutes around Ms. Nyah, you know just how special she is. Her sweetness is contagious, and it’s no secret why the kids absolutely adore her!

As one of our amazing Preschool teachers, Ms. Nyah pours so much heart into helping our Pre-K kids learn, grow, and get ready for kindergarten. She truly cares about each child in her classroom, and her passion for teaching shines through in everything she does.

Happy 1-Year Anniversary, Boston!

For the past year, Boston has been the guy behind the scenes keeping our buildings in tip-top shape. From painting and repairing walls and flooring, to building things, fixing toilets and faucets, taking care of the landscaping, and tackling just about anything that needs fixing — Boston does it all!

We are so thankful for his hard work and for everything he does to keep our buildings looking and working their best.

Happy 1 year, Boston! We’re so glad you’re part of our team!

We’re sending a little extra social-emotional support home with EVERY preschooler! 💛🌟

Our new **Social-Emotional Kits** are filled with simple tools children can use to practice calming down, identifying feelings, solving problems, and working through those BIG emotions — both at school and at home. 🥰

These kits were created using resources and strategies from the **Pyramid Model**, which we are proud to use in our program to help children build the social-emotional skills they need not just for kindergarten, but for LIFE. 🌱

Because learning ABCs and 123s is important… but so is learning:
💛 “I’m feeling frustrated.”
🌬️ “I know how to calm my body.”
🤝 “I can solve a problem with a friend.”
❤️ “My feelings are okay, and I know what to do with them.”

A HUGE shoutout to the **Pyramid Model** for providing such amazing, practical resources that help us teach little people how to handle BIG feelings. 🐢💕

We can’t wait to see our preschoolers use these tools at home, too!
