As the leaves begin to turn and the air grows crisp, fall gently reminds us to slow down, gather close, and cherish time with the ones who matter most - our families! At Academy of Westhaven, we believe that the beauty of the season lies not just in the colors outside, but in moments we create together. Here's a peek at what we did last week and how we made the most of this cozy, connection-filled season!
We kicked off the season with a Car Seat Safety Check hosted in our parking lot. Certified technicians helped families ensure that car seats were installed correctly and safely - a small action that can make a big difference in keeping our little ones protected! It was wonderful to see so many parents take part in this important event.
Our Fall Family Scavenger hunt brought out the adventurer in everyone! With colorful lists in hand, families walked, explored, and searched for signs of the season - from crunchy leaves to acorns and everything in between! The joy was in the journey, and it was heartwarming to see parents and kids laughing, collecting, and connecting outdoors.
We continued the fall fun with our children's favorite day of the year! Bike day! The playground was buzzing with energy as children proudly pedaled, scooted, and glided around the playground. It was such a joy to see their confidence grow as they practiced balance, coordination, and sharing the "road" with friends. A big thank you to all the parents for helping transport bikes, trikes, and helmets.
To finish off the week we gathered as a community for our Fall Family Picnic! Families gathered on the playground lawn with blankets, baskets, and big smiles, creating a beautiful patchwork or laughter and connection. The children were thrilled to show off their favorite outdoor games, share treats with their friends and family and explore the crunchy leaves that covered the ground! Events like these remind us that preschool is more than a classroom - it's a community!
