"We often forget the power that a great book can have on a child's imagination"! ~Carlos DaSilva

Join our Og's Bountiful Book Drive and help us reach our goal of donating 100 books for United Way of Forsyth and CASA in honor of #ReadAcrossAmerica day on March 2. This month, we will be celebrating our nation of diverse readers as we help raise awareness of the importance of #EarlyChildhoodLiteracy. Stop by the school to donate today & comment and share what your child's favorite book is!

Happy Saturday!

Do your children LOVE vehicles? This DIY cardboard road is sure to get their motors running, while also familiarizing them with their shapes. You could also make tracks with the letters in their name, numbers, etc.!

One of the best gifts from a child is a homemade card from the heart. Watch our video below and then visit our blog for instructions to create one of your own!

Wishing you many cherished moments this holiday season

Santa's hotline is even better this year! When your child leaves a message sent from your mobile phone, Santa will send a text ... so you can listen and share your child's message with the whole family. Love this! https://www.freeconferencecall.com/santa-hotline

WHY AGES 2-7 MATTER SO MUCH FOR BRAIN DEVELOPMENT Great read! "This first critical period of brain development begins around age 2 and concludes around age 7. It provides a prime opportunity to lay the foundation for a holistic education for children. Four ways to maximize this critical period include encouraging a love of learning, focusing on breadth instead of depth, paying attention to emotional intelligence, and not treating young children’s education as merely a precursor to 'real' learning...Children’s brains can uniquely absorb information during this critical phase. If intelligence is defined as the ability to learn, children between the ages of 2 and 7 may be the most intelligent humans on the planet." https://tinyurl.com/y3kzztu2
