Happy New Year Mom and Dad!

Our Younger Toddler Class at LVCC Campus got good and messy while making a Happy New Year banner. We finger-painted and mixed all kinds of colors. We squished the paint and made little paw-prints. Ms. Olga, our teacher, also asked us the names of the colors we were using.

Although one or two of us needed some coaxing, the other toddlers dug right into the paint! It was quite exciting seeing all this gooey stuff on our hands.

Don't worry Mom and Dad - our teachers cleaned us up for you!

After we finished the banner, we took time out of our busy schedules to wish you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!

'Tis the Season

South Mountain
LVCC Pre-K Counts class at LVCC South Mountain put on a spectacular performance based on a book called Stone Soup. The children all played their parts well. They worked together to create the props, settings, costumes AND they even MADE STONE SOUP for all their parents to taste.

Stones Crossing
The infants, toddlers, and preschoolers went caroling from door-to-door around the Stones Crossing Shopping Plaza. A surprise visitor stopped by to sing a jingle or two with the kiddies! As a special thank you for all the wonderful holiday tunes, our friends at Pizza Chef gave the children tasty cookies.

It's Snowing!

Mr. Joel was busy making it snow at LVCC Fowler Center on Main St.!

He and the Preschool, Pre-K Counts, and School-age classrooms made paper snowflakes. We cut out different designs, decorated them, and hung them in the front windows of the building.

We learned that snowflakes are all different. No two snowflakes are alike, including the paper snowflakes we created!

Holiday Family Fun

Festive holiday events took place at many of our centers this week. LVCC Alburtis held a Holiday Family Fun Night starting with a visit from Colleen Heimbach, Shafer and Nazareth Intermediate Center Director, and some canine guests. Ms. Heimbach, along with her seeing-eye trained dogs, gave a presentation on how to properly approach dogs.

A representative from the Lehigh County Humane Society spoke about importance of taking care of your pet.

Afterward, parents and children snacked on goodies, made crafts together, and finished the night with an active dodgeball game - parents vs. children.

Special guests, Santa and Mrs. Claus brought presents for all the children!

Santa Claus is Comin' to Town

The preschoolers from LVCC at Walnut St. and the Kiwanis Club of Allentown celebrated the joyous season with a holiday party at the Allentown BrewWorks. The festivities began with a delicious lunch.  Afterward, Joan Kniess, Head of Children's Services and Chief Elf at Allentown Public Library, read a story about how Santa met the reindeer and the elves. The children were VERY excited about the surprise guest who came to visit - Santa!!! Santa also brought his elves from the Central Catholic High School Key Club to help out. And they brought PRESENTS for each child!!

Thank you Kiwanis Club of Allentown for making special memories for our tiny tots!
