All 6 Frederick County Judy Center sites went strawberry picking this week! 🍓
During this activity, the children practiced reaching, grasping, twisting, walking, and bending, all skills that encourage coordination, balance, and fine motor kills! Outdoor activities like this can strengthen your child’s balance and body control. What a fun way to learn and grow! 💚

We had so much fun today with Mr. Sean and all the cool Reptiles he brought to our classroom.

The morning full of fun with reptiles gave the children a hands on way to learn through seeing, hearing, and touching. Live presentations build language skills and help children understand animals in a real-world context. This experience also encouraged our friends to try new things, helping them build confidence and curiosity.

Being exposed to unfamiliar animals supports empathy, respect for living things, and a broader understanding of the world. Our friends did an amazing job being gentle with the animals this morning! 💚

Crawling through a tunnel helps children build important gross motor skills by strengthening their balance, coordination, and overall body awareness as they move and shift their weight. 💪

This week, each child received a colorful tunnel to practice their crawling skills. This activity also helps to develop upper body and core strength, especially in the shoulders and arms, which are essential for stability and control. The strength being used and built is important for the development of fine motor skills needed for early writing skills such as holding a pencil. ✏️

If you would like to join the fun, contact us for more information!
