Here at Imagination Inn we are eagerly watching and waiting for Mother Nature’s signs of spring. Our late March winter blast changed our plans for our outdoor scavenger hunt. We began questioning our Groundhog predictions and the theory of “In like a lion and out like a lamb.” As the end of March approaches we […]
Dinosaurs, St. Patrick, pirates, and Easter!
In like a lion, out like a lamb was the AASP/AFAP theme for the month of March. March always seems like such a long month, so we filled it with different themed weeks. We started out with Dinosaur Week, then St. Patrick’s Day Week, Pirate Week, and Easter Week. We grew dinosaurs, made puppets and […]
The month of March took us on a trip to “Once upon a time” land. We explored many of the fairy tales throughout the month in all areas of our classroom. Working together, we constructed a castle out of recycled materials, which also offered opportunities to share our thoughts and ideas with others nearby. As […]
Andover After School Program has been in full winter attire. We have added sledding and fort building to our list of activities. The nor’easter was enjoyed by the children a bit more than the adults, I’d say! February was filled with a lot of love, hearts and penguins. We also made groundhog puppets and celebrated […]
In like a lion, out like a lamb! It’s hard to believe that on Wednesday, March 20 we will be welcoming spring. Wonder if anyone is going to tell Mother Nature? During the month of March we will be setting up traps in hopes of catching ourselves a leprechaun. The nursery and preschoolers set the […]

December was a busy month filled with holiday cheer and prancing feet. We celebrated the season with a Winter Wonderland Family fun night. Parents, staff, and children arrived in their pajamas and followed the snowflakes throughout the school to a hot cocoa marshmallow toss game, a cookie and cocoa station complete with trays and trays […]
Parent Appreciation Week comes in February
The excitement of the holidays at the East Andover Village Preschool was heightened by a visit from our local traditional Santa Claus. While the children worked during morning choice time, the faint ringing of sleigh bells was heard in our classroom, and, much to the children’s surprise, in walked Santa with a bag full of […]
Delighted, boisterous children were everywhere during the inaugural Wilmot Express – a collaborative, progressive event on December 9 in Wilmot. It was obvious that parents had fun, too. About 70 adults and 40 children made at least one of the three stops on the Wilmot Express. From the fabulous spaghetti supper at Chez Firehouse, the […]
