Supporting Caregivers and Early Learners Through Open Classroom Hours
Whether you are a stay-at-home parent, a grandparent caring for your grandchildren, or engaged in homeschooling, access to a dedicated learning environment can play a vital role in a child’s educational development. At our facility, learning begins in infancy, and we are pleased to offer Open Classroom Hours throughout the school year to support caregivers and young learners.
Each month, the classroom will feature a unique theme that encourages exploration and discovery through play-based activities. These activities are thoughtfully designed to align with core educational objectives and the Missouri Early Learning Standards.
Open Classroom Hours provide a welcoming space for caregivers to stay, engage, and learn alongside their children—fostering meaningful connections and hands-on learning experiences.
Please note: Childcare is not provided during these hours.
Monthly Themes
10/01/2025
Pumpkins
Join us as we explore the ins and outs of pumpkins. We will use shapes to make jack-0-lanterns, compare pumpkin sizes, count pumpkins on vines, and even bust them open to explore their slimy insides!

Winter
Through comparing and contrasting temperatures while exploring the physics of snow and ice, join as we navigate the different states of water. Math, science and art will help us encompass these changes.

Valentine's Day
Making connections, bonding with friends, and being a helping hand within a community will all be addressed as hearts and all other shapes take center stage for our activities. We will even combine ingredients, first investigating them separately and then mixed together, to discuss one's important role in a bigger project.
04/01/2026
Colors
Hands-on and making messes is the most memorable way to make colors and creations a lasting impression. As colors mix, discussions of how minute changes can make a lasting impact and forever change our world as we know it will be investigated.
11/05/2025
Fall
Working with leaves, sticks and all things fall, we will create works of art while getting elbow deep to manipulate nature as the season changes. Wind, bubbles and water will be some of the media used to carry out science experiments as we explore.
01/07/2026
Alphabet
Your child may be familiar with how to sing the ABC's, so what better way to explore each letter than to slow things down and break them apart. Speed and rhythm will help guide much of the learning, with music being a large part of this month's deep exploration into the alphabet.
03/04/2026
Numbers
Count on these activities to bring out the most in number exploration, finding as many ways as possible to bring numbers into play. There isn't a date or time we'll experience that doesn't give us an opportunity to find math in what we do.
