At Wakonda Preschool, we see God’s love shine through every child. Each day is a reminder of how precious and full of promise our little ones are. Today, National Child's Day, we celebrate them and the joy they bring to our classrooms and community! 💛

💛 Happy World Kindness Day! 💛

World Kindness Day gives preschoolers a wonderful opportunity to explore what it means to be kind in a fun and meaningful way. When children learn to recognize the feelings of their peers, they also begin to understand empathy. This helps them build healthy relationships, resolve conflicts peacefully, and grow into compassionate individuals who care for others. At Wakonda Preschool, we are proud to nurture these important lessons every day as we guide our students to lead with kindness in all that they do.

Happy Halloween! 🎃 Our 3/4-year-old classroom has been having so much fun with fall and Halloween-themed learning! 🍂 The kids got to open up a pumpkin and discover what’s inside — exploring their senses with textures and smells. They also picked their very own pumpkins from the pumpkin patch and expressed their creativity through decorations.

We hope everyone has a spooky, safe Halloween!
