Darling Dolphins

Wow, April has come and gone. Our Darling Dolphins are growing so fast. Every day we are amazed by the wonderful things they can do. We would like to welcome Alexa to our class! Ashley is enjoying her "tummy time" and table time where she loves listening to stories and music. Abby and Lexie are pulling themselves up and are really fast crawlers! Ricky and Isabelle are now moving around the room and beginning to crawl. Candance, Trevor, Devan and Mason are now trying to repeat words.

Have a Happy Mother's Day!

Terrific Turtles

We had so much fun in April learning about all the wonderful wildlife. Nicole and Justin have nearly perfected their animal impressions. We will have lots of fun exploring outside in May while we learn about plentiful plants. We will be studying vegtables and flower gardens, tall trees, and wiggly worms. All of our friends are getting so big and smart! Kenzie and Samantha are starting to say their friends names and many other children are starting to talk in small sentences. Jamie has begun taking steps and he will be chasing his friendsany day now! We will be spending more time outside now that the weather is finally getting warm, so please be sure that the children have a light jacket, sunblock, and a hat. We would like to wish all of our mommies a happy mothers day!

Thank You,
Miss Melissa and Miss Janet

Wonderful Whales

The toddlers hoped everyone had a special Easter and Passover. April was a rainy month and went by slowly. The whales learned alot about the wonder wildlife we have around us. They really enjoyed learning about reptiles. The whalesare improving more and more on their verbal skills and their learning skills. The themes for this month are: "A Vegetable Garden", "A Garden Full of Flowers", "Tall, Tall Tress", and "Wiggly Jiggly Worms and Things". We can't wait to learn all our new things. The toddlers would like to wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day and a Happy Memorial Day.

We hope "May" will bring warm weather.,
