We are so excited to celebrate Miss Kayla as our December Teacher of the Month! She continues to raise the bar for excellence in early childhood education, and we are incredibly proud to share that she is our very first teacher to become a Certified TPOT (Teaching Pyramid Observation Tool) Educator through the Pyramid Model!

The TPOT supports high-quality practices in preschool classrooms—especially those focused on nurturing children’s social-emotional development and promoting positive behavior. Miss Kayla has embraced this approach wholeheartedly, and it shows in everything she does.

In her classroom, she leads with intention, compassion, and confidence. She consistently seeks out new ways to support children with big feelings, building strong, meaningful relationships with each of her students. She has also mastered Baby Circle Time from Conscious Discipline and has thoughtfully enhanced her learning environment with visuals that help children feel safe, supported, and engaged.

Miss Kayla, thank you for your dedication, leadership, and passion for creating a classroom where every child can grow and thrive. We are so grateful to have you on our team! 💛

A huge, heartfelt shoutout to Miss Jo Jo!
We want to take a moment to celebrate someone who isn't recognized nearly as much as she should be.
As we prepare to open Coral Cove at the Aquarium, Jo has been working her butt off - late nights, early mornings, and everything in between - making sure every detail is perfect. And somehow, while doing all of that, she's still making sure HWG stays the warm, joyful, well-loved place it is.
Jo pours so much into her staff - encouraging us, supporting our growth, cheering us on, and helping each of us become the best version of ourselves. She believes in her team wholeheartedly, and it shows in the confidence and happiness that fill our classrooms every day.
And her love doesn't stop with her staff. Jo shows up for our Here We Grow families with the same tenderness and dedication. She gives endlessly, listens deeply, supports without hesitation, and expects nothing in return. Her heart is truly one of a kind.
She creates a community full of joy, warmth, and genuine connection. We adore her, we appreciate her, and we are SO incredibly grateful for everything she does.
Thank you, Jo, for being the bright, steady heart of HWG. We couldn't do any of this without you!

TOP Star Fun — Breads & Grains!

Last week’s TOP Star activity was all about Breads & Grains, and our kiddos had the BEST time learning and baking together! We talked about different types of grains, why they’re important for our bodies, and then rolled up our sleeves to make fresh cornbread!

The kids loved measuring, mixing, and watching their ingredients turn into something delicious. Hands-on learning like this helps them understand where food comes from and how we can make healthy choices every day.

We’re so proud of how curious, engaged, and excited they were throughout the activity!
