Friday Fun With Tippie Toes!

 Fridays just got a whole lot more FUN! We have been so excited to welcome Tippie Toes to the Academy every Friday for some dancing, giggles, and lots of happy little feet!

Our friends who have signed up for dance classes have been having the BEST time dancing, being silly, and showing off their moves with the wonderful Ms. Briony and Ms. Corey!

From fun movements to silly dance moves, our little dancers are getting the chance to express themselves, build confidence, explore movement, and most importantly, HAVE FUN! There is nothing sweeter than watching their little personalities shine as they dance, laugh, and enjoy time with their friends.

A big thank-you to Ms. Briony and Ms. Corey for bringing so much energy, joy, and excitement to our Fridays. We can't wait to see what our little dancers learn next!

Trick or Treat!

 What a FUN day we had at preschool today!

Our little friends from our toddler classrooms all the way up to Pre-K were filled with excitement as they made their way from classroom to classroom for some special trick-or-treating fun! There were so many adorable costumes, big smiles, and lots of happy little faces along the way!

We saw all kinds of fun Halloween characters walking through our halls, and we even had a BABY WEREWOLF join us for the festivities! How cute is that?!

It was so sweet watching our friends enjoy the excitement, collect their special treats, and share in all the Halloween fun together.

From the tiniest trick-or-treaters to our biggest preschool friends, everyone had a spooktacular time!

Oh We Love A Parade!

 It’s one of our favorite times of the year! Our friends were so excited to watch the Independence High School Homecoming Parade! The parade comes by every year, and it’s always something the kids look forward to. There’s just so much excitement, and this year did not disappoint!

The kids had a blast watching the marching bands, listening to the music, and seeing the police cars and fire trucks go by. They loved seeing all the floats representing all the extracurricular activities that they provide (theatre, basketball, wrestling, volleyball, etc.). 

And, of course, everyone was just excited to see the big kids! There was so much to see, hear, and get excited about! We love that this parade is a yearly tradition our friends can look forward to, and it’s always so much fun to be part of the community and cheer everyone on.

Needless to say, our friends had the BEST time! We’re already looking forward to next year!

Bean Mosaic Fun!

What an artistic day it has been for our Pre-K friends! 

Today, our little artists created their very own mosaic masterpieces using beans. Beans come in all sorts of colors, shapes, and sizes, making them the perfect material for exploring creativity and imagination!

Our friends had so much fun choosing their beans, designing their artwork, and getting creative with the glue. Some even discovered that getting a little messy is part of the fun! 

What a wonderful day filled with creativity, smiles, and lots of hands-on fun!
