Enrollment and Summer Learning This text-focused page is divided into two main sections: "Enrollment is Now Open" and "Summer Starts at Home". The top section encourages families to act as ambassadors by spreading the word about the program and the "Moms to Be" initiative to neighbors and coworkers. The bottom section provides tips for maintaining educational progress over the summer, such as reading together, practicing sight words, and using digital tools like PBS Kids or ABC Mouse.

Sneaker Ball and Classroom Spotlight Page 4 features a photograph of two teachers, Ms. Tiffany Reese and Mrs. Whitney Thornton, sitting with a group of approximately eight young children in a colorful classroom. The text highlights the "Sneaker Ball Celebration," where students wore formal attire with sneakers to create community memories. Another section spotlights the "Sesame Street" classroom, describing it as a lively space for 2 and 3-year-olds to build leadership skills and kindness.

April Monthly Roundup The final page includes an illustration of a tiger cub at a school desk with a pencil, globe, and a chalkboard displaying "ABC". The "April Monthly Roundup" describes the theme of "Community Helpers," where students learned about roles like firefighters and teachers. It details a special visit from Brittany Dionne of WBRC FOX6 News and a field trip to the zoo, where students practiced care and observation by feeding animals.

Creativity is in full bloom! 🎨

From finger painting to building block masterpieces, our Tigers are using their imaginations to explore the world. There’s no better way to wrap up the week than with a little mess and a lot of learning!

🧪 Scientific discovery begins with wonder and purposeful play!

In our learning labs, scholars are acting as junior scientists to observe cause and effect through hands-on exploration. We are building the foundational skills needed for a lifetime of inquiry.
