September is in full swing and our Dancing Monkeys and Rising Stars are really bringing Autumn into their classrooms! All of our lessons are rooted in full-body play and exploration, which means our littles get to really experience nature with their hands while they learn colors, numbers, and shapes!

In the Monkeys, our two year olds are playing with pine needles and leaves they collected themselves! In the Rising Stars, the three year olds are painting their own houses and learning how to be curious in circle time. Our teachers are amazing at letting kids become brave, independent learners who realize that the only thing FAIL means is “First Attempt In Learning.”

How can you bring Autumn into your daily life?

• You can collect Acorns and Pinecones and discuss their role in the life cycle of trees.

• You can do a leaf freeze dance!

• You can have a sunset journal and talk about all the different things that happen in each season.

What else? Let us know in the comments! We will also post more lovely things our teachers are doing each newsletter!

Thanks again, Rising Stars and Dancing Monkeys! Our kiddos are lucky to have you.
