Happy New Year!

December was a fun and very busy month at our centers!

At our HMB Preschool the children focused on the winter season and all the holiday celebrations. The children made snow and gingerbread scented play dough, their own ornaments, gingerbread cookies in their chef hats, explored holiday sensory bins and decorated a class gingerbread house that the kids decided to name "Sticky Rainbow, Chocolate, French Toast, Marshmallow."

At our HMB School Age center the children worked on their class gingerbread houses to enter into the contest for the CCP annual Gingerbread House Event at the Oceano Hotel. Room A made a Candy Land house and Room B made a Beach Chill House. The kids also made pinecone trees, paper roll snowmen, put up the Christmas tree and decorated the classrooms!

At our EG School Age center the children, aside from all the activities at the center, the children enjoyed Nights of Lights, the Gingerbread House Event and an agency wide Holiday Family Potluck.

At our Montara Preschool the children continued focusing on writing the letters of their names, counting and sorting, expanding friendships and social skills, group table activities and conversations. All the projects were about the winter season and the holidays. And of course, the children enjoyed all the CCP holiday events, including the parade!

At our Montara School Age program, in addition to all the winter and holiday projects and activities and events, the children had jobs and tasks assigned to encourage taking care of their classroom and space. And the children earned extra time doing extra fun activities like special games with teachers and educational games. 

We hope all our children and families enjoyed their time off and all the holiday activities and time with family. Happy New Year! And welcome back to a new exciting year ahead!
