Brain Builder's Preschool

Free play ❤️

🦋We released our butterflies today!

Our preschoolers have spent the last few weeks learning about the life cycle of a caterpillar, and today we got to watch our lesson come full circle.

Next month, we’re blasting off into our 🚀🪐 Outer Space Theme! Stay tuned. ✨💕

Sight word bingo

Our babies learned about the life cycle of a butterfly, but they also got to experience it firsthand!

They were so excited.
some of them were a little scared of the butterflies, I think the best part of this lesson was being able to watch each stage of the life cycle happen right before our eyes from caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly. 🦋💛

Riley is out of school and came in with her fresh uniform on, ready to do one-on-one lessons with our preschoolers.

Riley is my niece, but she’s also a former student here at our daycare. I literally taught her everything from spelling and writing her name to reading words.

❤️ Proud aunt moment! It’s amazing to see her giving back and helping our newest Brain Builders learn. 👌🏾📚✨

We are still exploring our Bug Unit this week! 🐞🐝🦗

Today, the children participated in a bug identification and coloring activity where they were encouraged to color each bug its correct color. This may seem simple but this activity supported much more than art skills.

As the children worked, they practiced following directions, identifying colors, recognizing different insects, and recalling information they learned during our bug lessons. For example, children learned that bees are typically yellow and black, ladybugs are red with black spots, and grasshoppers are green.

Activities like this help children strengthen their memory, observation skills, attention to detail, and fine motor development while making connections between what they learn in the classroom and the world around them. When they see these insects outside, they can recognize them and remember what they learned.

Not to brag, but we really have some sweet preschoolers over here. 💛

Our caterpillars are in the third stage of development the chrysalis! 🐛➡️🦋

Oh my goodness, in just a few days we’ll have butterflies! 🦋✨
