Spring time is the best time!

April 16, 2021

Tiny Hoppers Gateway is jumping into spring and learning all about nature and planting! Our children have had an ongoing project that started with painting their own flowerpots, followed by getting messy with soil and filling their pots to plant their seeds, to checking on our plants and making sure to water them and investigating/exploring the progress. Planting engages all senses, teaches responsibility (caring about our plants), promotes patience, encourages fine motor skills, builds understanding of cause and effect (plants need water and sunshine), and builds self-confidence (we have our first sprout!).

AGE GROUP: TODDLERS & PRESCHOOL
