Did you know that playing outside has numerous benefits for preschool-aged children? 🌳🌞

Outdoor play helps children develop gross motor skills, coordination, and balance. It also allows them to use their imagination and creativity, as they explore the natural world around them. 🌿🌼

In addition, playing outside can improve children's physical health, as they get exercise and fresh air. It also helps with their social skills, as they learn to interact with their peers in a different setting. 👫🏃‍♂️

Splash day > any other day

🧸🩹✨ Fun and Caring Activities at Preschool! ✨🩹🧸

Our Junior Preschool class had an amazing time learning about empathy and health through creative play! 🌟🎨

They started by applying Band-Aids to their paper teddy bears, showing such gentleness and care. Afterwards, they used toy stethoscopes to check on their "babies'" heartbeats and give them a pretend health check-up. Then, they moved on to a LEGO activity where they brushed in-between the brick pieces, learning about the importance of dental hygiene in a fun and interactive way!

🌲 Our summer camp kids had a blast at Tree Top Quest today! 🌳☀️

They enjoyed a morning of climbing, zip-lining, and tackling the ropes courses high up in the trees. 🌿😄 It was thrilling to watch them navigate through the obstacles.

🎉 Celebrating One Year of Dedication and Joy! 🎉

🌟 Today marks a special milestone as we celebrate the 1st anniversary of Ms. Jasmine and Ms. Savannah here at The Goddard School of Greenville! 🌟

Let's take a moment to thank them for their hard work, passion, and the love they bring to our school every day. Here's to many more years of growth, fun, and shared milestones ahead!

🌟✨ Exploring Math Skills with Pom Poms and a Scale! ✨🌟

The children had a blast counting and sorting colorful pom poms, then using them to explore concepts of weight and measurement on the scale. It was amazing to see their faces light up as they discovered how adding or removing pom poms changed the balance.

This hands-on experience not only enhanced their understanding of math but also fostered their curiosity and critical thinking skills. A big shout-out to our fantastic teachers for making learning so engaging and fun!

Let's continue to encourage exploration and discovery through interactive activities like these. 🌈👧🧑

Today in our Toddler classroom, we had an exciting time with our "Noodles onto Straws" activity! 🍝

The children had a blast threading noodles onto straws, practicing their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. It was amazing to see their concentration and determination as they carefully threaded each noodle onto the straw, creating their own tower of noodles!

👶✨ Exploring Sensory Play with Our Little Ones! ✨👶

In our Infant 3 classroom, we had a delightful time engaging our infants in sensory play activities! 🌈🎨

From exploring different textures with their tiny hands to discovering new sounds with rattles and shakers, it was heartwarming to witness their curiosity and excitement. Sensory play is not just fun; it's a crucial part of their early development, helping them learn about the world around them through their senses.

🌟 Let's continue to nurture their curiosity and growth through play and discovery.
