Morning drop-off is warm and welcoming. Some children may need a quiet cuddle with a blanket, while others are ready to dive right into play. Our team makes sure every child feels safe, secure, and ready to begin their day.
The morning begins with open play and engaging, age-appropriate activities that encourage exploration, learning, and problem-solving. Teachers spend one-on-one time with children, introducing new concepts and building skills through personalized attention.
We gather as a group to sing songs, read books, practice counting, explore the calendar, and discuss fun topics like weather, animals, or space. These activities boost language skills, listening, confidence, and community connection.
Outdoor play is part of every day at Buckle My Shoe Adventurous Learning in Newberg. Whether climbing, running, digging in the sandbox, or exploring nature, children develop motor skills, teamwork, and a love of the outdoors.
We serve healthy, balanced meals and snacks made with organic fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and fresh ingredients. Mealtimes also help children practice independence and social skills in a relaxed setting.
Afternoons are filled with art, sensory activities, storytelling, and hands-on projects. From painting to building, children explore their creativity while strengthening fine motor skills and problem-solving abilities.
After a busy morning, children enjoy nap time or quiet time to reset their energy. Rest helps regulate emotions, improve focus, and prepare little ones for an afternoon of fun.
The day closes with another round of outdoor play or cozy indoor activities before parents arrive. Pick-up is also a chance to connect with teachers and hear about your child’s day.
Every Friday, children bring a small item from home to share with the class. This fun tradition builds confidence, speaking skills, and celebrates each child’s unique interests.
