Miracle of Minds

Right before Michael Caden was born, I decided to take Mckaley out of all-day preschool and keep her at home with me while I was on maternity leave. I thought that the time together would be good, especially because her world was about to be flipped upside down with the arrival of baby brother. Anyhow, right around that time my friend Jenna was telling me how much she just LOVED her daughters preschool. She was only there twice a week for three hours each day and so I decided to let Mckaley give it a try. Well let me tell you, this place is a hidden gem! I can not express how much I enjoy taking M there. She never has any problems leaving the house to go and she comes home exhilarated every day. It takes me about 15-20 minutes to get her there, but she talks about what she did at preschool the entire way home. Its great! The only bummer is that they break for summer :( which is actually not too bad because we travel so much, but I was sad to see her at her last day of school. Below are a few pictures of this preschool. I'm telling you guys, if you live in Gilbert- bring your kids here!!!! They will be challenged and loved like crazy!!! Thanks for such a great recommendation Jenna.

Just the other weekend, they had a special day called Celebrate Creativity. Each student took home a bag full of artwork. Once at home, they shared each piece with their parents and told us all about it. We then made a science board to display all their artwork for the event. At the event, the students proudly showed off their art, sang a few songs for the parents, made a recyclable piece of artwork , and then we had a picnic lunch while raffle prizes were announced. It was a wonderful day to celebrate all that the students and teachers had done. This is just one of the many ways that the teachers go above and beyond to make this school so special.

Kadie Watson is in the afternoon class, but we got to hang out with them this weekend. Thanks again for the recommendation Watsons!

Mckaley at her last day of preschool for the year. She is showing off her cards that she made for Ms. Wilkins and Mrs. Wilkins. She loved having a mom and daughter teach her throughout the year. She thought it was very cool! On the last day of school they had a water day, so the students all dressed in their suits and got to play in water and do a slip n slide before snack.

Thanks for a great end of the year Miracle of Minds!
