Happy Fall Y’all from Dream Big CDC 🍁🌟🍂💛

10/24/2025

Our little Dreamers had an amazing time painting pumpkins during our Fall Festival! Each brush stroke was full of creativity, color, and joy. 🥳 Activities like these help our children explore their imagination, practice fine motor skills, and celebrate the beauty of the season together. 🍂🧡🍁

Developing fine motor control is a key milestone in early childhood education — and today, our Dreamers nailed it! ✂️🍂

Using scissors to follow the lines of their pumpkins encouraged focus, precision, and hand-eye coordination — important skills that support future writing and self-help tasks.

We love watching our learners grow stronger every day! 🌟

🌟 We Did It — To God Be the Glory! 🌟

Dream Big family and friends, we are beyond excited to announce that Dream Big Child Development Center is now officially a Texas Rising Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4-Star Provider — the highest quality rating awarded by the State of Texas!

When I think back on this journey — the long hours, the faith it took to keep going, and the commitment to excellence for our children — we can only say: but God! 🙌🏾

Every obstacle became an opportunity, every challenge built our character, and every prayer was heard. This recognition is not just about stars — it’s about the standard of love, learning, and faith that fills every corner of Dream Big.

To our amazing team, dedicated families, and precious little Dreamers — thank you for believing in our mission and helping us shine so bright. 💛

✨ “This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.” – Psalm 118:23

When play turns into teaching practice! These little dreamers are showing us that circle time isn’t just fun—it’s inspiring! 🌟

Check out her students in the back listening so attentively! 😂

Today our little dreamers had so much fun exploring science, letters, and numbers with shaving cream. 🧴✋ They practiced writing our letter of the week (Ll) and our number of the week (1) while building fine motor skills, sensory awareness, and creativity. 💡

Learning doesn’t always happen with pencils and paper—sometimes it’s about hands-on exploration that sparks joy and curiosity! 🌟

Our Dreamers explored apple stamping while focusing on our color of the week—blue and letter of the week—A. ✨

According to the Texas Pre-K Guidelines, this activity supports learning in several areas:

🎨 Fine Arts: Exploring art materials and expressing creativity.

🧠 Mathematics: Recognizing colors, shapes, and simple patterns.

🗣️ Language: Using words to describe their picture and share ideas.

💪 Physical Development: Strengthening fine motor control through stamping.

Hands-on fun like this builds early skills while keeping learning exciting! 🌟
