Little Munchkins Preschool Center

It is always fun to look back on previous years and see how much our outdoor classroom has evolved. Every spring, when the snow melts, it feels like a fresh start for the space, and maintenance is always the first step. Our harsh winters can definitely take a toll, but our team works together to collaborate on what areas we should focus on to continue enhancing the environment.

This past year, many of our educators worked together to transplant greenery from their own homes to add to our outdoor classroom. The children loved helping care for the new plants and the crawling vines making their way up our sandbox have added such a whimsical and natural touch to the play space.

This year we also hosted a family event, inviting all of our families to come and experience our outdoor classroom together. It was very successful and it was wonderful to see families enjoying the space alongside their children. We hope to continue this as a yearly event, welcoming our families to explore and connect with our outdoor classroom as a community.

Looking ahead, we would like to focus on creating a new water play area and developing some pathways to help eliminate a few of our muddier spaces.

We would like to thank our incredible educators who put their hearts into this classroom and help make it what it is. We are equally grateful to the families who have generously offered their talents through repairs or donations of materials to support our outdoor space. Together, this community effort continues to make our outdoor classroom a special place for children to learn and explore.
