A few weeks into the school year, what's new is starting to become familiar and those everyday routines are beginning to matter more than you might realize. 💚

For young children, routines are about so much more than staying on schedule. Familiar moments throughout the day can help children know what to expect, feel secure during transitions, build healthy habits, and create a stronger sense of connection and belonging.

The good news? Routines don’t have to be complicated. ✨ Getting dressed in the morning, a hug before school, talking together at dinner, or reading the same bedtime story each night can all become comforting cues children learn to count on.

At The Nest Schools, we see that same power in the classroom. Predictable rhythms give children the security of knowing what comes next while leaving plenty of room to play, explore, create, move, and discover.

As your family settles into a new school-year rhythm, remember: children need predictable parents, not perfect parents. 💚

Nest Play Curriculum is growing right alongside our children!

As we enter Year 6 we’re introducing thoughtful updates designed to make purposeful play even more intentional, adaptable, and connected.

With clearer learning goals, more ways for teachers to bring activities to life, and parent-friendly activity summaries that show what children are learning along the way, these updates make Nest Play even more meaningful for teachers, children, and families.

When we understand the why behind the play, we can see just how much learning is happening in every moment. ✨

BIG news for The Nest Schools! ⭐🎉
Our proprietary Nest Play Curriculum, which guides learning across our schools, has received exciting recognition from not one, but TWO states!

⭐ Ohio has approved Nest Play through its Step Up To Quality program.
⭐ North Carolina has named Nest Play an approved curriculum through the North Carolina Child Care Commission and NC DCDEE.

While these recognitions come from Ohio and North Carolina, they celebrate the curriculum our children and teachers experience across The Nest Schools every day. 💚

They reinforce something we’ve always believed: play-based learning is REAL learning. Every tower built, question sparked, masterpiece created, pretend game played, and discovery made is an opportunity to build the skills, confidence, creativity, and curiosity children will carry with them for years to come. ✨

We’re incredibly proud of Nest Play, the educators who bring it to life, and this recognition of the meaningful learning happening in our classrooms every day.

New school year, new routines, and sometimes…new behaviors. 😅💛

Changes in schedules, classrooms, expectations, and everyday routines can be a lot for children to process. When children don’t yet have the words or the developmental skills to explain everything they’re feeling, those feelings can show up through their behavior instead.

So when the after-school meltdown happens or emotions suddenly feel a little bigger than usual, there may be more going on beneath the surface.

Yesterday, we talked about what to do when those tough moments get the best of us. Today, we’re looking at what those big moments might be telling us about them.

Because sometimes, big behavior is a bigger message. 💛

New routines, busy mornings, changing schedules, big feelings… back-to-school season can be an adjustment for parents, too. 💛

Sometimes, in the middle of all that change, we lose our cool. We raise our voice. We react in a way we wish we hadn’t. What happens next matters.

Taking the time to repair, to acknowledge what happened, apologize, and talk about the feelings involved shows children something incredibly important: We all have big emotions. We all make mistakes. And we can take responsibility and make things right.

As your family settles into a new school-year rhythm, remember that emotional intelligence isn’t about handling every moment perfectly. Sometimes, some of the most meaningful lessons come from what we do after a hard moment. 🪺💛

Swipe through for simple ways to help your child navigate big emotions, build their emotional vocabulary, and develop skills that will support them far beyond the classroom. ➡️

Our Ducklings explored citrus painting during a fun sensory art activity! The children used sliced oranges to dip into paint and stamp onto paper, creating beautiful colorful artwork. Before painting, they used their senses to smell, touch, and observe the different textures, shapes, and colors of the citrus fruits.

This hands-on process art activity supported fine motor development, sensory exploration, creativity, and early cognitive skills while encouraging the children to learn through play and artistic expression. We loved seeing each child create their own unique masterpiece!

Our Penguins had a wonderful time in Paints & Pianos this week! 🎨
The children learned about artist Wassily Kandinsky and explored how shapes can be used to create art. After reading Elmer, they folded their paper into squares and filled each section with repeating shapes using colorful oil pastels.
This fun activity helped our Penguins build creativity and fine motor skills while also practicing early math skills like recognizing shapes, patterns, and colors. We loved seeing each child create their own unique masterpiece! ✨🖍️

Our Ducklings had a blast during their Splish, Splash, Play activity! The children explored water at the sensory table using cups, spoons, and toys. They practiced scooping, pouring, splashing, and moving objects through the water while discovering how the water felt and how the items moved.
Water play is a wonderful way for children to build sensory exploration, fine motor skills, and hand-eye coordination. Our Ducklings were full of curiosity as they explored, experimented, and enjoyed this fun hands-on learning experience! 💧✨
