  • First Week of School for Preschool Prep!

    Preschool Prep had such a great first week of school. We focused on getting to know our classroom and our new friends on the first day. Then, we started learning our schedule and how our days are going to look. Our last day involved practicing taking turns and raising our hands during group time. They did so well, and I am so excited to watch how much they learn and grow this year!

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  • Exploring the Toddler Classroom

    Welcome to the 2016-2017 Creative Tots Toddler Classroom! We are so excited to have so many wonderful friends, old and new, in our class this year. This was our first full week of school, and being at school for the first time can be tough for friends as young as ours, but they all did SO wonderfully! We just know this is going to be an excellent school year. We know that you, toddler parents, are curious about what happens in your child’s day at school. On our blog you will find weekly updates about what happens in the toddler classroom. In the coming weeks, we will be posting about our daily schedule, and you can get a feel for what our mornings look like. For the first couple of weeks, we wanted all of our friends to get very familiar with their new surroundings. They are already learning about sharing, using their words, and how to clean up their messes!

    Below you can see a rough structure of our day. Our toddlers are already learning how to transition from one activity to the next. This helps foster a sense of independence, once they know what to expect as they get more and more used to the schedule of our day.

  • Our Classroom Library

    Where can you blast off into outer space, explore new worlds, meet important people from the past, dive deep into the depths of the oceans and swim with a humpback whale or alongside an ancient sea turtle?  The classroom library!  Our small groups took us to the classroom library today as we learned about all the different books that are available to read during free choice time.  It’s one of the favorite gathering spots in our classroom during the school year.

    You can become anything you dream in of in a good book!
