Summerfield School

While it looked like delightful, messy fun, the children were actually hard at work developing several critical skills:

Fine Motor Coordination: Operating a syringe takes serious muscle control! Squeezing the plunger to pull up the "medicine" (red water) and pushing it out requires a precise two-handed grip and finger strength.

Scientific Exploration (Absorption): The children loved watching what happened when the red water met the cotton wool. They observed how the dry, fluffy cotton quickly soaked up the liquid, changed color, and shrunk down in size.

Hand-Eye Coordination: Aiming the syringe directly onto the cotton wool required focus, spatial awareness, and a steady hand.

Imaginative & Medical Roleplay: Activities like this help demystify medical tools. By taking on the role of a doctor or nurse, children process their own experiences with check-ups and vaccinations in a safe, control-driven environment.

🏆 What a day! 🏆

A massive, heartfelt thank you to Soccer Starz for their incredible efforts in making our sports day such a huge success! It was absolutely amazing to have you there, and we already can’t wait for next year! 🎉⚽

From the children giving it their all in the races to the excitement of pass the parcel, it was just a non-stop, fun-filled day.

..And okay, okay, although the teachers may not have won the tug-of-war against the parents this time around, we’re officially putting you on notice: training for next year starts now! 😉💪 Let’s do it all again soon!

Watching Your Little One Thrive! 🚀✨

At Summerfield Nursery School, our biggest goal is to see our learners grow "beyond measure." There is nothing quite like the joy of a child who is excited to come to school every single morning!

We are blushing a little bit at these kind words from the Haupt family:

"Our child has thrived beyond measure here at Summerfield. The staff are polite, courteous, and safe—it really is the epitome of home away from home." 🦉❤️

Why do Summerfield kids thrive?
🧪 We Explore: Science experiments and sensory play that make "learning" feel like a grand adventure.
🎨 We Create: From "Bakers Man" to our famous messy play sessions, we encourage every child to find their unique voice.
🥦 We Nourish: Happy tummies mean happy minds! Chef Poppie’s healthy, delicious meals are the fuel behind all that growth.
🏡 We Care: A clean, safe environment where your child isn't just a student—they are part of the family.

Your child deserves a space where they can truly shine. 🌟

We currently have limited spots available for our upcoming intakes. Don't wait until the last minute to find "The One!"

✨ A Morning Full of Love & Lime (scented bath salts)! ✨
What a beautiful way to kick off Mother’s Day weekend! We had such a wonderful time hosting the incredible moms who joined us this morning. 🌸

There is something so special about watching mothers and their little ones work side-by-side. From picking out the perfect scents to mixing up custom bath salt packs, the room was filled with creativity, giggles, and—most importantly—amazing memories that we know will last much longer than the salts! 🛁💖

To all the moms who could make it: thank you for sharing your morning with us. Your energy and love made the event truly shine.

To all the mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures in our community: We wish you a relaxing, joy-filled, and very Happy Mother’s Day! You deserve the world (and maybe a long soak in those new bath salts!). 💐

Nurturing hearts, building friendships, and spurring each other on toward love. Wishing all our families a blessed and encouraging week ahead. 🌼
