Early Explorers through Willard Community Center

Our Preschool class furthered their exploration of their tree study by taking a trip to Pioneers Park this morning! The natural playground was a huge hit and the kids really got their imaginations going with taking turns being "captain", building structures out of logs, and digging for bugs in the sand.

Our tiniest taste testers have quite the menu! Fresh fruits, veggies, and lots of new flavors are on the menu for our Early Explorers. Which combination do you think they’ll love the most?

A big thank you to Michelle from Nelnet for spending part of Nelnet’s All In Week volunteering with us! 💚
Michelle helped us prepare a whole lot of fresh baby food for our littlest Early Explorers! On the menu: banana & pumpkin, banana & peanut butter, steamed squash, green beans, berry blends, squash & pumpkin, steamed sweet potato, and steamed carrots. 🥕🍌🫐
We love introducing our infants to a variety of fruits, veggies, flavors, and textures early on.

Parents: what’s your little one’s favorite baby food? 👶🥄

🌽 A little hands-on learning with our Early Explorers toddlers!
Our toddlers had so much fun exploring corn in the sensory bin today! We talked about how corn feels, the different ways we can eat it, and even learned about some of the animals that enjoy eating corn too. 🐷🐔🐄

We are so grateful to the Food Bank of Lincoln for bringing fresh produce to our community each month! ❤️

Our students and staff have the opportunity to take home a free bag of fresh fruits and vegetables, making healthy food more accessible to the families we serve.

We loved having our toddlers participate in yesterday's produce pickup! 🥦🍊

After four days of cleaning, organizing, painting, more organizing, and lots of setup, our toddler room is looking fin-tastic and ready to make some waves! 🐠🐙🫧
We were so excited to welcome our newest little Early Explorers who started today! 💙🌊
And there’s still room in our school of little fish! 🐟 We have toddler openings available, so help us spread the word to families looking for a place for their little one to join our class!

There are plenty of smiles to go around in our infant classroom!💛

We still have a few infant and toddler openings for the upcoming school year, and we'd love to welcome more little ones into our classroom filled with cuddles, care, and early discoveries.
Know a family looking for infant or toddler care? Help us spread the word by sharing this post! 💕
