Sensory Week and Splash Pad

This week's play theme was sensory. The kids had a lot of fun creating moon sand, playing in water beads, and making sensory bags. The moon sand was made with 8 cups of flour and 1 cup of baby oil. Super easy to make at home.

We also had two field trips that went along with the sensory theme. Monday and Tuesday we had a lot of fun at Laser Quest. The kids have mentioned it was their favorite field trip so far. We didn't take a lot of pictures though, it was pitch black. Wednesday and Thursday we went to the splash pad at Port Royal Park. Even though it rained on Thursday, we still got a couple hours of play in.

Splash Pad fun!

WHY T.A.S.K?

At The Academy, we truly believe that our children are, in fact, our FUTURE. Because of that belief, we understand the important job we have to positively influence that future. T.A.S.K. Groups at the Activity Zone are NOT your average school age program groups. Here, your children will be anything but bored; they will be inspired, encouraged, and given a unique opportunity to learn about our world. T.A.S.K. is happy to provide quality care for children Kindergarten through 12 years old. THE VISION: The vision of the T.A.S.K. program is to be the number one before and after school provider for school-age children in the area by providing quality education in a more intimate family environment where children can learn, explore, and succeed in the world around them. THE MISSION: Our mission in the T.A.S.K. program is to provide daily educational experiences and guidance to inspire and encourage each child to be confident, knowledgeable, responsible and productive citizens in their schools, classrooms and community.
