This week, we are diving into the wonders of the Arctic and its fascinating animals. During story dictation time, we invited the children to let their imaginations soar with a fun scenario:

"There was a walrus with the biggest, funniest mustache in the Arctic. How did he use his mustache to help his friends?"

The children’s responses were as creative as they were delightful! Here are some of the imaginative ways they thought the walrus helped his friends:

He used his mustache to dig a tunnel.
He played catch with his friends using his mustache.
He made his friends laugh with funny tricks.
He hung a fish on his mustache like a hook.
He danced with his friends.
He grabbed an elephant’s trunk with his mustache to make his friends laugh.
He turned his mustache into a hockey stick.
He used it to play in a snowball fight.
He pulled a friend out of a hole with his mustache.
He spread it like a blanket to keep his friends warm.
He opened his mustache like an umbrella to protect his owl friend from the snow.
He rescued his friends who were stuck in the ice.

The children’s drawings of their walrus stories are proudly displayed on Room 9's classroom door. Feel free to stop by and admire their incredible creativity!

Learning

At Brookshire Learning Center, the child comes first. We take pride in not only providing for their physical and emotional needs, but for their developmental needs as well. Our curriculum was created for its balance between both teacher-directed and child-initiated learning. It is our goal to help the children develop the passion for learning that they will carry with them throughout their life.  Brookshire Learning Center uses a weekly theme based curriculum that is designed to foster social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and language development and to enhance learning in literacy, math, science, social studies, and the arts.  This allows the teachers to plan and implement a developmentally appropriate, content-rich program for children of all backgrounds and skill levels that is constantly matching the interests of the students. Please be sure to look for the weekly lesson plans hanging in the classrooms.

Communication

Providing an environment where children grow their confidence and learn to express themselves in a variety of situations.

Social and emotional

Encourage children to develop an attitude of kindness, cooperation, courtesy and helpfulness towards others while developing self-confidence and independence.

Physical

Helping children develop their coordination, control and movement through a variety of fine and gross motor activities.

Expressive arts

Enabling children to explore and play with a wide range of media and materials.

Literacy

Encouraging children to link sounds and letters and begin to read and write. Children are exposed to a wide range of reading materials to ignite their interest.

Mathematics

Helping children with their counting skills, understanding numbers and simple addition and subtraction problems.

Best daycare I’ve ever had for all 3 of my children! We’ve been to places all around the Lafayette area and also in indianapolis and this is by far my favorite place! I love to watch my children grow from room to room and still get to see their old teachers. My school age child still loves to come drop off her siblings just to connect with her old teachers.

We love everything about Brookshire. The staff is phenomenal and I feel comfortable and safe leaving my two year old there. They treat her like their own.

Incredible place to send your children of any age. I had both my girls go though Brookshire, starting at age 1 all the way up through pre-K. Phenomenal teachers. Phenomenal job during the pandemic. Would highly highly recommend to anyone.

Brookshire is outstanding! Both of our boys have gone here. They really prepared my oldest for Kindergarten. The teachers are amazing and truly care about the kids. I had a preemie that had multiple surgeries and I felt comfortable leaving my kids there, which says a lot for this mama bear. I appreciate the organization, wonderful curriculum, and seeing our kids flourish here.

We were enrolled in the Southside Brookshire Learning Center. My daughter went there when she was 5 years old. We had a great experience. Her teacher's were so compassionate with her. I am glad we went there.
