Some of our Black History Month Activities

Standard

IMG_5780Not all the people in this picture were discussed but it’s here because I love it.

During Black History month the children learn some things about Martin Luther King Jr, Garrett Morgan and of course our beloved Bob Marley.

The children were given information about Martin Luther King Jr., as it pertains to his strong leadership style, and desire to have children of all race equally attend school. He dreamed of children playing together regardless of their race, ethnicity and color. It was easy for them to understand because of our diverse environment.

We did an activity with the traffic light in honor of Garrett Morgan, he invented the T-shaped traffic light. The children colored the traffic light and even played one, two, three red light.

Bob Marley music played a lot during this month. My daughter says, ‘he has the same hair as us!’ – cute but true. And I say, ‘ he is from Jamaica like mommy!’

… red light says – stop / yellow light says – go very ,very slow / green light says -GO! IMG_5324

Daycare through the years

Standard

I started the operation of Lil’ Bebe Academy in 2008 and through the years the daycare has grown in friendships, numbers, activities, toys and siblings.

To move forward we have to look back.  Journey with me through the years :)..please start from the bottom up:)
