AOHV is in our Valentine Era!

 Here at AOHV our wonderful staff and students are feeling the love in the air. Each classroom has begun creating all types of valentines art from home-made crafts to sweet valentines cards for our families. 

We Love to Explore!

 We're always excited to explore, especially on chilly days! Recently, the children had a blast creating a Snowstorm in a Jar, making Snow Slime, and Magic Milk. These hands-on activates not only teach valuable skills like cause and effect, critical thinking, and problem-solving but also make learning fun and engaging.

Early childhood is a crucial thinking for fostering exploration and curiosity, and science experiments are a wonderful way to do just that!

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.
