Director’s Newsletter: May 2024

As we welcome the beautiful month of May, we are excited to share with you all the wonderful activities and events planned here at Sunset Academy. 

Here’s what you can look forward to this month:

May Activities:

Our dedicated teachers have prepared a host of engaging activities to keep our little ones entertained and stimulated throughout May. From arts and crafts to outdoor explorations, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Here are some highlights:

Infants will start to venture outdoors to explore the wonders of nature! 🌞🌳 Starting this month, weather permitting, our youngest adventurers will have the opportunity to discover the joys of the playground, where they’ll stretch their legs, wiggle their toes in the grass, and engage in activities that promote their gross motor skills development. They will also go on wagon walks around the school premises, taking in the sights, sounds, and scents of the new season.

Toddlers will get ready for some outdoor fun and learning as we dive into the wonders of nature and the transition into summer!  Our toddlers will also be mastering an important skill—name recognition! Through fun games and activities, they’ll delight in seeing their names and those of their friends, fostering a sense of identity and belonging.

Preschool is getting ready to dive into the fascinating world of insects, birds, and flowers!  

Pre-K is GRADUATING! Hooray!
