We used paper towel tubes instead of paint brushes today!

This is a great example of process art. Even with the same materials (paper, paint, and tubes for stamping), no two pieces are exactly alike! In the early years, allowing kids to explore without too many adult expectations is key to their hands-on way of learning.

If you would like to know more, this is a great article from NAEYC!

Encouraging Process Art At Home

We will be closed now through New Year’s Day. Public school resumes January 8th 2024 in Rangely.

We will be open for childcare January 2nd to January 4th, 2024.* If you are registered with us, and would like to arrange care on these days, call with your needs on the 2nd to check availability.

(If you are a regular and you signed up on the sheet before break, we will be expecting you.)

Until then, we wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

*Please remember that care on these dates is not included in Prepaid Preschool. Families will be billed according to the amount of time their children attend on these days. Please see Rates and Forms for more information.
