LVCC at St. Luke's Carnival Fun for Whole Family

Bean bag toss

Obstacle course

Every year LVCC at St. Luke's celebrates the end of the school year with a carnival for the children and their families. This year was no different... and it turned out to be a beautiful day. As the tots bounced from one activity to the next, they practiced a number of developmental skills.

Chasing bubbles

Playing dress up

The preschoolers used lots of hand-eye coordination to toss bean bags and rings. They jumped hoops and climbed through tunnels in the obstacle course. The teachers awarded everyone who attempted to play the games with a small prize.

At the bag decorating table, preschoolers created colorful artwork with bingo dabbers and markers. They used their bags to hold all the goodies they won.

The toddlers enjoyed chasing bubbles and playing with the toys on the toddler playground. Both toddlers and preschoolers pretended to flappers, unicorns, brides and even elves in the dramatic play area.

Thank you to the families for joining us on this special day. We hope you had as much fun as your children!

The past two weeks marked the final days of the school year. Completing LVCC's pre-kindergarten and Pre-K Counts programs, six centers celebrated with "stepping up" ceremonies for the students and their parents.

"Whether we call it stepping up, graduation, or end of the year party, the main goal is to celebrate children and their accomplishments," explains Joselin Blanco, LVCC's Campus Center director. "It offers the children the opportunity to show their parents what they have learned throughout the school year."

Moving from preschool to kindergarten becomes a milestone in a child's life. Preschool builds the foundation for education, instilling a love for learning that a child can take with them throughout life. Celebrating this milestone helps children realize the importance of their accomplishments.

If asked what some of the most memorable LVCC experiences have been this year, preschoolers may say field trips to the Lehigh Valley Zoo or the Crayola Factory. Ask LVCC preschool and Pre-K Counts teachers the same question. They'll answer, "watching their students blossom from the beginning of the year until now."
