The 2024 Apple Blossom Lantern Walk for our early childhood students and families was a beautiful experience! Each year, we invite our preschool and kindergarten families to join us for the Lantern Walk. The lanterns remind us of the light we hold inside, that is needed to guide us through the dark winter. The children craft their own lanterns by hand! Young children rarely get the chance to go outside when it’s dark, and the lantern walk gives them the opportunity to experience the darkened sky and connect with nature.

Here are four nature studies we have done this fall at Apple Blossom! Each Thursday, we learn about something in nature and journal about it in nature journals. Studying nature builds children’s appreciation and understanding of their environment, as well as improving critical thinking skills.

The last week of September at Apple Blossom is spent celebrating and listening to stories of bravery that help us prepare for the cold months ahead. The dragon symbolizes the bravery and strength that we need to get through the winter, and gathering as a community fills our hearts with joy as the season begins to turn. A beautiful tradition and week of celebration at Apple Blossom Village!

Activity of the day at Apple Blossom Kindergarten! Each day of the week has a color and activity associated with it. This provides the children with rhythm, and they know what to expect from each day of the week. For example, every Monday is painting day and each Wednesday is soup day.
