From Our Classroom to the Community: Our Little turkeys

Novemeber 24th, 2025

Last week in our classroom: Turkeys!

This Week at Playschool

This week was all about Thanksgiving foods as we get ready for the holiday! The kiddos voted for their favorite Thanksgiving item, sang songs all about yummy holiday foods, and even played a silly Pie in the Face game to match our theme.

One of my favorite parts of the day is helping toddlers explore new foods in a no-pressure, joyful environment — right alongside their friends who are exploring too. Teaching them how to fuel their bodies and build healthy habits (especially around the holidays!) is truly my jam.

Christmas co-Op

Small Business Saturday → this is the place to be!
We can’t wait to see you there!

Playschool will be hosting a Kiddie Corner so your little ones can feel the joy of community through a local, family-owned business too.

The best part? The Co-Op is completely FREE and open to the public. No tickets needed—just come hang out, shop small, and join the fun!

Fa-la-la-la fun! Holiday and wintery themes will be infused into this 3-week series of Music Together classes.
