The children always love a snow day at home with family, but sometimes it's even more fun at school with all of their friends! This week we celebrated the snow with sensory buckets, discussing Arctic animals, painting with marshmallows, and playing outside with the snow on the playground! We love winter for many reasons but it's getting much colder next week, everyone stay safe, have a great weekend!

Baby Doll Circle Time™ Children develop best within the context of caring relationships. Baby Doll Circle Time™ provides the opportunity for young children to experience being the nurturer by interacting with their baby dolls (or teddy bear) in the same ways that we as caring adults might interact with them. As the children play with their dolls, they relive and strengthen the attachment and connection that they have with their caregivers and parents. Baby Doll Circle Time™ is a way to ensure that children experience the attachment, attunement, and social play required for optimal brain development.
The goals of Baby Doll Circle Time™ are to:
Enhance attachment
Increase self-regulation
Promote trust
Foster attunement skills
Baby Doll Circle Time™ focuses on building connection through:
Eye contact
Gentle, appropriate touch
Being present in the moment
Playful interactions

Snow days are the best time to have unrestricted space and endless opportunities to stimulate children's physical development. Playing in the snow also creates a time to utilize coordination skills, math skills, general thinking skills, and memories that will last forever. Here are some family photos from a fun filled snow day!
