🌿 Outdoor Nature Huddle 🌞
Over the past few days, all our PLB students gathered at our Outdoor Nature Park for a refreshing time of learning beyond the classroom! 🌳✨

Each day began with a joyful all-school circle time, followed by breakout sessions where each class explored fun, hands-on activities with their teachers. πŸ’š

It was a week filled with curiosity, connection, and nature-inspired learning β€” truly a Play, Learn & Beyond kind of experience! πŸƒπŸŒˆ

Even before the province-wide class suspension was announced due to earthquake concerns, our proactive Pre-K class with Teacher Apple was already practicing their earthquake drill! 🌍πŸ’ͺ
As we slowly ease back to school, please be assured that more earthquake and safety drills will be conducted with all our PLB kids. 🧑
Safety first, always. Stay safe, everyone!

β€œTrain up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” β€” Proverbs 22:6

This verse perfectly captures the heart of every teacher here at Play, Learn & Beyond.
Last Monday, as we celebrated United Nations Day, we also took time to appreciate our seven wonderful teachers as we are also celebrating WORLD TEACHERS DAY 🍎 each one unique, each one shaping our little learners in her own special way. πŸ’–

πŸ‘©β€πŸ« Teacher Joy Salinel (Calm, gentle joy in every step)

- True to her name, Teacher Joy brings calm and happiness wherever she goes. Her classroom may start out as a little jungle each morning but with her gentle singing voice and nurturing presence, it transforms into a space filled with peace and love.
Her students may not always have words, but they always feel her care. She reminds us that every child blooms beautifully when met with patience and joy. 🩷✨

🍰 Teacher Kay Lianne (Homey aroma & creative heart)

- The moment you step near her room, you’ll know it’s hers! Her baking fills the school with the smell of home, like freshly baked goodies!
Teacher Kay’s classroom is always full not just with toddlers, but with mommies, nannies, laughter, and love. She’s creative, resourceful, and finds beauty even in scraps, a proof that learning can be simple yet full of heart. πŸ’•

🎨 Teacher Maria Criselda β€œCris” (Young, creative, and our craft queen)

- Our youngest teacher, yet one of the most hardworking and inventive! She’s known for her colorful crafts and engaging activities.
While others are heading home, Teacher Cris is still busy preparing materials for her little ones. She’s firm yet loving - her students line up from washroom to class, and she won’t move until everyone’s ready. Through her, we see how guidance and love can go hand in hand. πŸ’–

🍎 Teacher Apple (Always ready, always prepared)

- Always the first to arrive and often among the last to leave, Teacher Apple is known for her readiness and dedication.

πŸš— Teacher Vianna (Generous heart who goes the extra mile)

- Teacher Vee is our sister figure who never seems to tire. Not only does she handle the largest class in PLB, she also takes care of her co-teachers, literally!
She’s the one driving them to and from school, reminding us that leadership isn’t about position but about service. Always giving, always caring, that’s our Teacher Vee. πŸ’–

Each teacher carries a story of patience, creativity, and endless heart. Together, they form the soul of Play, Learn & Beyond. πŸ’•

We ended the day with a simple dinner and tokens of appreciation for our wonderful nurturers, our teachers. 🍽️🎁 It was a sweet reminder that while teaching is often a selfless calling, moments like these allow us to give back even just a fraction of the love and dedication they pour into our children every day. πŸ’–

Thank you for shaping not just minds, but hearts too.

To God be all the glory! πŸ™βœ¨

🦷✨ The Dentist is in at PLB! ✨🦷

As part of our Community Helpers theme, we had the privilege of welcoming Dra. Elizabeth to Play Learn & Beyond! πŸ’š

We even transformed our atelier into a mini dental clinic, where our PLB kids got to experience what it’s like to be at the dentist! They learned all about what a dentist does, how they help the community, and the importance of taking care of their teeth. From brushing demos to real dental checkups - it was learning through fun and experience, the PLB way! 😁

Here at PLB, we believe kids learn best when they get to see, touch, and experience the world around them. πŸͺ₯πŸ’«

πŸ‘©β€βš•οΈπŸ‘¨β€βš•οΈ Doctor is In at PLB! 🩺✨

In PLB, we believe children learn best through work, play, and experience. As part of our Community Helpers Theme, our Nursery class had the chance to become doctors for a day! πŸ’‰πŸ©Ή

Activities included:
β€’ πŸ₯ Dramatic Play: Doctor is In – where little ones cared for patients (their baby dolls!)
β€’ βœ‚οΈ Operation: Arm Stitching – practicing focus and fine motor skills
β€’ ☒️ X-ray Room & Painting Reveal – discovering how doctors see inside our bodies

Why is this important?
🌟 Learning about community helpers teaches children appreciation for the people who keep our communities safe and healthy.
🌟 Pretend play builds imagination, problem-solving, empathy, and social skills.
🌟 Hands-on experiences strengthen both fine and gross motor skills while making learning fun and meaningful.

At PLB, every lesson is more than knowledge it’s a life experience! ❀️

Technology has no place in kindergarten through eighth grade (K-8). Research shows that learning through books, writing with pencil and paper, and engaging in dialogue with real people builds the strongest foundation for education. These traditional methods provide not only cognitive benefits but also emotional and practical skills that prepare children for lifelong learning.

One striking example comes from the Waldorf School of the Peninsula in Silicon Valley, a prestigious private school attended by the children of technology executives. Despite its location in the heart of the tech industry, the school has zero technology in grades K-8.

On its website, the school states: β€œBrain research tells us that media exposure can result in changes in the actual nerve network in the brain, which affects such things as eye tracking (a necessary skill for successful reading), neurotransmitter levels, and how readily students receive the imaginative pictures that are foundational for learning.”

This approach reflects a deliberate choice: to prioritize human interaction, creativity, and deep learning over early exposure to screens. It serves as a reminder that sometimes, less technology can mean more growth.

✨ In our Kinder class, learning goes beyond worksheets and memorization. Our progressive approach nurtures the mind, heart, and hands - a holistic way of learning. 🌱 Kinder kids explore academics through experiential play, inquiry-based projects, creative expression, real-life applications, and collaborative discovery. Each day is an opportunity not just to learn, but to grow with joy, curiosity, and purpose. πŸ’‘πŸ’›βœ‹πŸ“š

At PLB, we take pride in being a screen-free school. 🌱✨ We believe that the best foundation for early childhood is built through real-life experiences, hands-on exploration, and meaningful interactions not screens or gadgets. Countless studies have shown that screen time at a young age can do more harm than good, which is why we are intentional about keeping our classrooms device-free.

With the recent heavy rains and class suspensions, however, we’ve had to shift temporarily to online Zoom sessions. Even so, our approach remains true to who we are: authentic, organic, and teacher-led. πŸ’‘ Unlike many online classes that rely on pre-recorded videos, cartoons, or YouTube clips, our children still engage directly with their teachers in a warm and personal way.

This is what makes PLB stand out - our commitment to preserving the child’s natural curiosity, imagination, and love for learning. πŸ’•
