Old Spanish Trail teachers and children were very creative and had a great time decorating their doors  for Halloween.

Scottsdale Early Learning Center preschool and Pre-K classes have grown pumpkins in their garden just in time for Halloween.

The children at EPDS are delighted with the pumpkins that they grew in their on-site garden:

Congratulations to Miramonte Day School for being awarded a Three-Star Early Learning Center for their outstanding program.  Miramonte is currently in the process of applying for accreditation with anticipation to be accredited early next year.

We had so much fun learning through music and movement with Ms. Maggie for Quality Time. We learned new songs, new ways to move our bodies, and most importantly new ways to think and explore all while we got up, got moving, and got messy. It’s easy to learn when you’re having fun doing it.

Ms. Maggie started her Music and Movement at El Presidio Day School this week and the children had a blast banging on the drums and learning some multicultural songs.  This is part of our programs activities and every child has the ability to work with her and her husband.  We are so grateful to have her at all our locations 2 times a month 🙂

From Ms. Maggie (CDA Instructor):  “I just wanted you to know that you have some awesome teachers with whom I am working this semester. I LOVE the “new” ladies who are taking classes with me, and so many of them seem to be “lifers” (those who love to teach and intend to do so for their whole lives). Poets Square teachers are blowing me away with their dedication and work, and I have some wonderful ones from Miramonte and OST too. I may have some pictures to send later this week of work some of them have done for CDA. I’m excited for the future!” Maggie😂

Here’s a few pics of our Gecko class in the garden.  Ms Maritza their teacher has made gardening a part of her everyday curriculum.  After having a blast watering and catching Garden Creatures; they enjoyed fresh Cucumber Salad.
