LSU Early Childhood Program

Toddler 4 has been practicing story sequencing with Hey Di**le Di**le! Children learned how to put the nursery rhyme in the correct order, and many have even memorized it. 🎶🌙

We also enjoyed exploring nature together by collecting flowers and pebbles to create a special Friendship Soup. 🐚🌸 It was a wonderful week of learning, creativity, and collaboration!

ABCD...Young Preschool 1 explored the letter Ee by watercolor painting eggs!
Through this hands-on activity, children connected the letter “E/e” with the word “egg,” practiced symbolic thinking, and expanded their vocabulary by identifying and repeating words such as “egg,” “Ee,” and color names.

🎨✨ Toddler 3 had a wonderful time transforming the playground into a colorful outdoor art gallery with sidewalk chalk today! From rainbows and flowers to doodles and happy hearts, their creativity was shining as bright. 🌞🌈

Infant 4 are color experts. 🤩
They worked together to sort & match colors.
