SCIENCE! What an amazing morning with the Toddlers today! We used our 5 senses and looked at, smelled, touched, listened to, and even tasted different kinds of plants. lettuce, celery, red cabbage, snap peas, carrots 🥕 and arugula. Under the microscope, we could see veins. We have veins, too! We found out that leaves breathe like we do and even watched some cool capillary action with celery and food coloring! Infants & Wobblers enjoyed the Lorax, 🌳 trees, sensory bottles, and painting! It was a great day on 🌎 and here at TJB! #STEAM #STEAMpreschool #STEAM4All #ECESTEAM #TJBrocks #ToddlersCan #Earth #earthday #earthday2024 #thejourneybegins #tjbrocks #naeyc #naeycweekoftheyoungchild #earlychildhoodeducation #infanttoddler #steam #science #learningthroughplay #finemotorskills #finemotoractivitiesforkids #grossmotorskills #highlandpark #90042 #braindevelopment #learningisfun #ece #preschoolmatters #preschoolmusic #steam4all #play

Today, we continued learning about what lives under the sea. 🐟🦀🦈 For our science experiment, we used squirt bottles filled with salt water 🌊 and frozen sea life and watched the melting process. We also practiced both gross and fine motor skills while "fishing" 🎣 and had fun playing outside in the beautiful sunshine 🌞 thejourneybegins #tjbrocks #earlychildhoodeducation #infanttoddler #steam #science #learningthroughplay #finemotorskills #finemotoractivitiesforkids #grossmotorskills #highlandpark #90042 #braindevelopment #learningisfun

Do you want to SEA the fin-tastic 🦈 day we had? Dive deep in our Ocean 🌊 theme fun. We had sand, water and sea-life sensory tables, painted sea shells 🐚, walked like crabs 🦀 and swam like sharks across the playground, sang slippery fish, row, row, rowed our boats with friends, rode sea-horses and learned the importance of keeping our ocean clean with an activity that allowed us to "remove trash from the ocean." 🐙🪼🐡🐟 #tjbrocks #thejourneybegins #qualitychildcare #steam #90042 #childcareadventures #childcarelife #infanttoddler #childcarematters #underthesea #musicandmovement #learningthroughplay

Hurricane Hilary may have pushed us a day back, but Covid, fires, massive storm damage from the last storms, and now Hilary...nothing can stop us! 1st day of school at The Journey Begins 2023-24 school year!. It was an "emotional" and often "loud" day (30+ kids under 2 years old) but I am so proud of my amazing staff and all of our brave new children and their parents. 🏫❤️🍎 #tjbrocks #preschool #steameducation
