Starting school for the first time is a big moment for both kids and parents! It’s normal to feel a mix of excitement and worry. But with a little support, this transition can be a happy one.

When parents think of preschool, the first things that come to mind are often ABCs and 123s. But true learning goes far beyond letters and numbers. While academic basics are important, the early years are just as much about shaping kind, confident, and curious human beings.

In the early years of a child’s life, simple routines can make a big difference. At Arise ‘n’ Shine, we’ve seen how daily habits, like consistent circle time, snack time, and predictable indoor and outdoor play schedules help preschoolers feel secure and confident.

Arise ‘n’ Shine Preschool recently celebrated Earth Day with a fun-filled, educational experience for its kindergarteners. The little learners explored the importance of recycling through creative art projects and outdoor activities that brought nature closer to their hearts.
