Field Day 2020

Preschool Field Day is probably the cutest thing ever. 

Here at Holly Tree of Brentwood, we strive to make summers fun and one of the events we look forward to is Field Day! 

Field Day is where the children can rotate through a variety of gross motor activities and spend most of the morning outside playing and working together as a team. It is definitely a fun and exciting day, not just for our kids but for our staff as well!

At the end of the day, we all come out

WINNERS!

Great job Holly Tree friends!

Spirit Week 2020

We've got spirit! Yes we do! We've got spirit, how about you?

Whatever your school traditions are, Spirit Week is the best time of the year to promote school pride and make lasting memories with our students, teachers and staff that will last forever!

Take a look at Holly Tree Brentwood's Spirit Week!

Tuesday, Tacky Tourist Dress Up Day

Thursday, Twin Day! And our Pre-K class wore their Kindergarten Boot Camp shirt,

This was a fun time for our toddlers, preschoolers and Pre-K friends. Not only did the kids have fun, our teachers and staff members did too as well! 

Summer is going to be a blast here at HTB!

Blue Angels

We pushed nap time back so we could watch The Blue Angels fly over our school! Thank you to all of our health care and front line workers! 

Indoor Gross Motor!

Even on rainy days, we make sure to get our 120 minutes of gross motor in our Preschool and Pre-K rooms!  Today's activity....an obstacle course, "ice hockey" and a Trolls dance party!

The Great Outdoors

"The natural activity of early childhood, play is what children do and their way of life. For young children, there is no distinction between play and learning; they are one and the same. Playing is a priority in early childhood, yet not all play is the same."

"Children need to remain active throughout the day; promoting outdoor play allows them to get fresh air and explore their environment more. Hands-on learning, the natural environment and loose parts in the outdoors stimulate children’s senses through what they hear, touch, see and feel."

Outdoor play is so important for development and we are thankful to have a big outdoor space with grass and dirt for their little minds to explore. Watching the kids run, play, climb, pretend, dig worms, catch bugs, is something I look forward to on a daily basis. The way they play and use their imagination is one of the reasons I do what I do. It is amazing to see what games and dramatic play they create when they are outside. Our teachers look forward to warmer weather so they can plan activities to do on the playgrounds and in our garden. With spring around the corner we are busy plotting what to plant in our garden beds and will be taking a vote with our preschoolers on what fruit and vegetables they want to help grow... stay tuned!
