Pulaski Head Start dads and father figures joined their children to design festive holiday trees! Together they cut, glued, and decorated with pom-poms, sequins, and lots of sparkle—building fine-motor skills, following directions, and practicing teamwork along the way.

Thank you to every family member who showed up and made memories. We love seeing learning and laughter grow during Fatherhood activities!

Sweet teamwork in action! Our children and their fathers/father figures spent the day designing (and nibbling!) gingerbread houses—measuring, building, and decorating while laughing and learning together. Thanks to every family who joined us for this festive, memory-making activity.

Helena Head Start smelled like the holidays as children mixed, rolled, and decorated gingerbread ornaments. This hands-on activity built fine-motor skills (rolling, pressing, pinching), early math (measuring and counting), and rich language as we talked about shapes, spices, and traditions.

Our little scientists are exploring TREES! Today Wilkinson Head Start learned how trees help our environment—giving us clean air, shade, homes for animals, and helping the earth stay healthy. We also talked about everyday products that come from trees like paper, pencils, books, fruit, syrup, and building materials. Each child took turns “cutting down” a tree using a toy chainsaw.

Growing curious minds—one tree at a time! 🌳
