Every Sensory Play is a New Adventure!

 Here at AOHV we believe that sensory play encourages each child to use their thinking and imaginative skills. Sensory play is any activity that uses our senses like; touch, taste, smell, hear and sight. This type of play helps each child interact with their senses and creates a better understanding of the world around them.  At the Academy of Harpeth Village we have our children from birth to age 5 explore with sensory play, from blowing bubbles with babies to preschoolers exploring ice play with ABC's.  We look forward to sharing these experiences with your child.

Snow Day!

 Friday, we had a snow day and all of us enjoyed it. We asked our families and staff to send in some special pictures about their day and let's just say that they didn't disappoint.
