Easter and April
Easter and April go hand in hand with the arrival of spring, making it a great time to teach young children about the changing seasons. Here are some simple spring-themed lessons:
- Planting Seeds: Introduce children to the concept of growth by letting them plant seeds in small pots. Over time, they can observe how the seeds sprout and grow, giving them a hands-on lesson in the life cycle of plants.
- Spring Weather: Discuss the changing weather of spring and how it affects plants, animals, and people. You can do simple science experiments like making a rain cloud in a jar to illustrate how rain is formed.
- Animal and Insect Exploration: Spring is a time when animals like baby chicks and bunnies are often associated with Easter. Teach children about baby animals. and consider using toy figurines or a trip to a local farm to show them the real thing. You can also talk about insects like bees and butterflies that emerge in spring.

Reminders
- At Kid's Haven, all our staff members have recently completed comprehensive training in best practice behavior guidance and redirection strategies. This ensures that every child in our care receives the highest quality support, fostering a safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate environment.
- If your child will be entering Kindergarten fall of 2025, your child will be running with our school-age program this summer. Let your child's teacher know if you are not planning on sending your child to Kindergarten this fall and he/she are old enough to attend.
- STOP for school buses! As you see daily there are multiple buses dropping and picking up children at Kid’s Haven. We want to ensure safety in the parking lot. Therefore, if you see a bus in the parking lot or at the bus stop, we need you to stop your vehicle, and not move until the bus has left. Please make sure you allow enough time in the mornings and afternoons to be able to ensure our children are safe as we get them on and off buses.
- Please remember to slow down in the parking lot; there are a lot of little people walking through.
- ***If you have a preschool child that is getting on or off a bus we will need a bus form completed ASAP***
- Don’t forget to like and follow on Facebook!
- Kid's Haven is now hiring! Please see our open positions. Here is the link to apply.
