“My favorite part of the day is morning free play. During this time I am able to move around the room to different areas and spend time with each child. We talk and share ideas and stories. This is when we build relationships and bonds form.” Stephanie, CLC teacher.

“I love the way the children make different things with playdough, it’s amazing how they imagine how to form things such as animals, food, plants, ect,” says CLC teacher Deborah F –

We love making our own play dough, too – and you can make it at home with your family this weekend! In a large mixing bowl, just combine 1 cup of water, 4 cups of flour, 3 tablespoons of cooking oil, 1 1/5 cups of salt and a dash of food coloring.

Welcome to all of our new families! It is going to be a GREAT year at CLC!

We always have tons of fun during our “come play with me” activities with our friends at Edgehill! Today volunteers led story time, singing and dancing!

Edgehill residents – who are CLC Palmers Hill neighbors! – visit regularly for reading, games, gardening and other fun, educational engagements with our children. The partnership and friendship is a great way to unite our community across generations and offers our children, teachers and seniors special times to look forward to throughout the year.

Starting every day with circle time – where our little ones gather to listen to stories and participate in fun group activities, like sing-alongs!
