Innovative. Nurturing. Stimulating. Loving. Adventurous. FUN!

Teachers affect eternity. They never know where their influence ends.

Project ALC–Back to Basics

To start off 2012 with excitement, we are introducing our “Back to Basics” campaign. Each month we will take a center (blocks, manipulatives, dramatic play, etc.) and discover fun and creative ways to enhance our play and learning! In addition to our monthly assignments, we will encourage our ALC community to participate in weekly “missions”. They will be assigned each Friday, so your family can participate in the mission over the weekend. Be sure to take many pictures–we love to display them!
