Whether it’s a cozy storytime, a creative art project, or a reassuring hug during drop-off, your care makes all the difference — and this month, we’re saying thank you for it.

✨ Featured Activities

🔍 Activity Highlight: Tiny Scientists’ Nature Investigation Tray

Spark curiosity and discovery with this hands-on exploration tray! Children use magnifying glasses, tweezers, and their senses to investigate natural treasures like leaves, stones, and pinecones. As they sort, observe, and describe what they find, they build early science and language skills while developing focus and wonder for the natural world — perfectly aligned with Montessori principles of independence and exploration.

🌟 Activity Highlight: Fuel & Feelings Jar


Help children connect their health and emotions to their ability to learn! In this simple activity, children choose a “Fuel” slip (how their body feels) and a “Feeling” slip (how their emotions feel) and place them in a jar. Together, the class reflects on how energy and emotions affect focus—and what they can do to recharge or reset. A great tool for building self-awareness and balance in any learning environment!

🚨 Safety First: Winter Readiness Tips


Winter is coming (and in North Dakota, it means business).


✅ Check and restock first aid kits.

✅ Confirm emergency contacts and update your Emergency Supply List.

✅ Review your indoor play options for snow days.


A little preparation now means smoother days later — even when the snow’s knee-deep and the mittens have mysteriously disappeared.
