Kaylee's Garden

It is hard to believe that our annual Fall Fest will be here this Friday already! Fall Fest is a wonderful way for us to raise money to purchase items we would not otherwise be able to and continue offering high quality care to our families on the Northside of Madison. One of the ways we do that is with a silent auction with items donated from our surrounding community. Today we want to highlight Doherty's Family Farm Market that offers grass fed and finished beef along with many other items. They truly care for their animals and offer quality products to their costumers who can see their family farm when visiting their market. We are so grateful to have them partner with us and donate a gift certificate for you to bid on this Friday.

🎃More Fall Fest decorations underway!

🍂Can’t wait to see you all next Friday (10/24) for some fall fun!

Our 4k class came inside from outdoor exploration to an opportunity to create with our playdough provocation. They were eager to collect different leaves, sticks, and acorns.

Creating playdough provocations in your child’s environment encourages:

🌱 Open-Ended Play—provocations allow the children to explore and interact with no intended outcome. This allows for a variety of different interpretations.

🌱 Fine Motor Development—students were able to get creative with their hands to pinch, roll. This helps them develop their muscles, enhance their dexterity, and improve their hand-eye-coordination!

🌱 Curiosity Driven—we paired our homemade playdough with various different tools and objects. The students were encouraged to ask questions, compare it to their learning of apples and trees, and test out different ideas. This type of play encourages children to think scientifically and creatively while also using problem-solving skills to explore the world around them!
