Creating preschool recycled crafts is not only fun, but it’s also a great way to reuse stuff you have in your home or classroom! You want to do crafts with your children, but you don’t want to once again search for materials for that activity. Here's Preschool 2 using recycled newspaper to create a shark craft. This is a inexpensive way to still let the young mind be creative!

Enjoying The Spring Weather!

"Goodbye WINTER, so long SNOW, it's time to watch the flowers GROW!!"

We have been soaking up the sun as the spring weather comes! We are full of smiles and laughter as we start to say goodbye to winter and hello to spring! Some things we have done this week are ride our bikes, build with blocks, slide, pretend to dig and plant flowers, and play catch with our friends. We even got outside just before the rain got to us! It is officially time to live life in full BLOOM!

Hello there!

Warm weather brings out my silly faces!

Happy to see the sun!

What's down there?!

Happily digging for some flowers!

Sharing some spring love! 💛

All smiles 😀

KINDERGARTEN BOOT CAMP: AN ACADEMY EXCLUSIVE

The Academy is recognized by the community for our kindergarten specific programs including our one-of-a-kind Kindergarten Boot Camp. Our Pre-K program includes hands-on explorations that create new learning connections in language, math, science, social, emotional and physical development. Children investigate “Big Ideas” and are actively involved in seeking answers to their own questions. Intentional daily plans cover a specific range of guidelines that prepare our children to meet and exceed kindergarten readiness standards for both public and private schools. Kindergarten Boot Camp, offered exclusively by Never Grow Up, is a dedicated summer program that teaches important, yet often overlooked, skills needed to navigate kindergarten with confidence. Skills such as remembering a lunch number, carrying a lunch tray or returning a library book are examples of how we “train” our Academy kids to “be all they can be”!

GOLD SNEAKER FACILITY

GETTING A JUMP ON CHILDHOOD OBESITY Healthy habits are instilled at a young age, with most habits being formed during adolescence. We feel it important to instill good habits at an early age, addressing behavioral factors that contribute to overweight and obesity from the beginning. The Gold Sneaker initiative was developed to enhance policy related to physical activity and nutrition within licensed child care facilities across Tennessee. Policies we've adopted include minimum requirements on physical activity, sedentary activities, breastfeeding, meal time, behaviors, portion sizes, and a tobacco-free facility. Together, we can create healthy habits for life.
