Johnson Pond Learning Center

It was scorching hot, but we had an awesome time at the Holly Springs Salamanders game last night. It was great to see many of our JPLC families enjoying the game along with us.

Today Johnson Pond Learning Center celebrated its 23rd anniversary. We commemorated this milestone with hot dogs and Pelicans Snoballs.
As I reflected on our remarkable journey, I couldn’t help but think of the countless children who have walked through our front doors over the past 23 years. The countless good mornings, giggles, hugs, tears, learning, and play that have taken place within our walls are a testament to our dedication to nurturing young minds.
I thought about the many employees who have been part of our family, and how many of our employees have been part of Johnson Pond for so many years, fostering a sense of community and belonging.
I remembered the couple employees we have lost to illnesses, and the fond memories of them that we carry with us.
I thought about Laurie, and how much she is missed, yet her memory continues to motivate us to strive for excellence and continue her legacy.
I hope Johnson Pond will continue to thrive for at least 23 more years, and we’ll have the privilege of watching the children of our former students walk through our doors.
We always say, once a part of our Johnson Pond family, always a part of our Johnson Pond Family.

Happy Mother’s Day to all our phenomenal JPLC moms.
We honor you, we celebrate you, we cherish you.
Have a beautiful day!

This week we will honor our teachers and staff during Teacher Appreciation Week.
Our teachers sow seeds that will bloom into a lifetime of growth. From the fundamentals of ABCs to the art of sharing, they build academic foundations, provide daily care, and navigate the “messier” aspects of childcare.
We give our heartfelt recognition for all they do and highly value their unwavering dedication to the children and Johnson Pond Learning Center. Our teachers and staff do not just teach; they inspire and care!

Ms. Alicia and Ms. Pam in Room 9 are beaming as the proud mommas of 21 baby chicks, wrapping up their Pre-K class's learning journey on the life cycle of a chicken.
Since we already have 14 chickens, we have found a loving home for the new chicks.
The children have been fascinated watching the incubator.

What a wonderful 2026 Week of the Young Child, where we got moving during Zumba, had a throwback dance party, a creative Messy Art Day, a Western Day, and a visit from Bright Star theaters. We ended our week with a celebration wearing matching t-shirts, a family picnic, and an Art-Palooza. The walls are decorated with so much love and color.
Ms. Flossie spent time planting with the children and making vegetable soup too.
A huge shout-out to our dedicated teachers and staff for crafting an unforgettable week; we are forever grateful.
And thank you to our amazing parents for being incredible partners.

This week, we proudly celebrate the Week of the Young Child, recognizing the incredible potential and promise of our youngest learners.

Wishing a happy Easter to our entire JPLC family and friends.
