Let your children play!

Some of our activities at school may look like play, because it is, in a structured and intentional way. Here are a few benefits of play that help our children every single day.

Imagine walking into a preschool classroom for a Black History presentation… smiling, expecting to see posters of famous leaders from the past.

Then suddenly you stop.

A child is standing proudly beside a poster… and it’s about you.

A local leader.
Someone from their own community.
Someone they see, know, and believe in.

In that moment your heart swells with emotions you didn’t expect. Pride. Gratitude. Humility. Maybe even a few tears.

Because through the eyes of a child, you realize something powerfu. History isn’t just something we read about. It’s something we are living.

At Excellent Learning Preschool, we believe learning should be fun, but it should also be real. Our children learn about the heroes who came before them, while also recognizing the leaders walking among them every day.

And sometimes the greatest lesson isn’t just who made history…

It’s helping our children see that they can too.❤️
