Ivy Grove of Lexington
Director's Note cozy log • week 6
Cozy corners, busy patios, and big soft smiles ✨
Hi mamas & papas —
Week 6 was the best of both worlds.
Inside, we found the coziest corners: rocking chairs with teddy bears, sweet storytime for baby dolls, and quiet hugs that turned into long chats. Outside, we went full throttle: toy car parades, water table splash labs, playhouse doorbell games, and ribbon dances that had everyone giggling.
The sweetest thread through it all was care. Kids reading to each other, waiting for a turn in the car, tucking in baby dolls, and checking in on a friend. Our little community is growing kinder and braver every week.
Sunshine, stories, and so many soft smiles.
"We grow slowly, like ivy — one cozy corner, one outdoor adventure at a time."
Teddy bears, rocking chairs, and quiet magic 🧸
Top: two friends rocking with their teddies, holding them tight, watching each other with soft smiles. Bottom: a little caregiver reading sweet treats to a baby doll in the cradle, so gentle and focused. Quiet play that looks small but practices big feelings like care and tenderness.
Steps, sunshine, and arm-around-friendship 🤍
Left: two friends on the steps, arms around each other, rosy cheeks and the biggest smiles. Right: that proud, soft smile that says ‘I feel good here.’ Week 6 was full of these tiny friend moments that make a classroom feel like a village.
Vroom vroom, the patio is a highway 🚗💨
The patio turned into a racetrack. Purple butterfly car, blue ice cream truck with a giant cone on top, and a green dino car. Driving, parking, negotiating who goes first. Plus a yellow slide and water table waiting on the side. Outdoor play that is all movement and giggles.
Ribbons, giggles, and silly faces 🎀
We played a silly ribbon game outside. Hold your nose, stretch, dance with colorful ribbons. A teacher leading with a big laugh and four little dancers copying every move. Music without music — just movement and laughter on the patio stones.
Water, playhouses, and purple buckets 💦🏡
Left: water table splash lab — pouring, fishing for ducks, roller ramp on the side with puddles everywhere. Teacher handing over a yellow duck, friends reaching together. Right: the wooden playhouse had a steady stream of visitors, door opening, purple bucket delivery, bell ringing. Indoor and outdoor worlds blending all week.
