Latest News
What a perfect Tuesday we had today!
Today, we celebrated Tasty Tuesday for @naeyc #weekoftheyoungchild. Each class made something different - lemonade, cinnamon toast, pancakes, smoothies, energy balls, mini pizzas, and peanut butter bars.
Since it feels like summer outside today, some classes spent lots of time on the playgrounds. The children studied the grass up close, watered the gardens, and splashed at the water tables.
Tomorrow is Work Together Wednesday and our teachers have lots planned!
Did you happen to see the fairy houses in our gardens the last two days?
Our Pre-K classes completed their study on Recycling this week. To highlight all they learned, they used different recycled materials to create their very own fairy houses. This multi-step project required lots of creativity and patience as each child worked hard the last week to build their house. Each house perfectly reflects their architects personality.
Have a great weekend!
✨RAISING OUR VOICE✨
Michelle, Kate, and one of our board members Melinda went to The Capitol today to advocate for early childhood education and our youngest learners in Texas!
Taking advantage of the clear blue skies and flying kites at CREW this afternoon!
During our recycling week, some of our CREW friends built their own marble runs using all our recycled snack boxes!
Did you know that you can teach the alphabet without using a paper and pencil?
Every child learns differently and some learn best by touching and manipulating objects. Adults know this as tactile learners!
Using multi-sensory techniques to learn letters is important because all children have their own unique learning preferences. By engaging different senses, the brain is given an opportunity to encode and process the concept the child is learning.
