Paley Early Learning Center

Fast, flexible, and always a hit! 🍚

In honor of Memorial Day, our young learners created thoughtful memorial collages while practicing their cutting and fine motor skills in the classroom. More importantly, they were given the opportunity to learn the meaning of remembrance, sacrifice, and gratitude for the brave individuals who gave their lives in service to our country.

Art plays a vital role in early childhood education because it encourages creativity, emotional expression, focus, and developmental growth.

It may have been a hot day outdoors this week, but we found a fun and creative way to keep learning going safely inside.

Our young chefs at Paley enjoyed a hands-on culinary activity by making pizzas together as a class, selecting their favorite toppings and learning through every step of the process. Culinary experiences in early childhood education support fine motor development, improve hand-eye coordination, encourage listening skills, and help children become more open to trying new foods and flavors.

Safe, engaging, and full of smiles from start to finish! 👩‍🍳🍅☀️🍕
