Gutman Early Learning Center

Every story shared is a step toward lifelong learning. 📚 Our young learners enjoyed storytime together, expanding their vocabulary, strengthening critical thinking, and building the skills that support their growth into the confident leaders of tomorrow.

Tiny hands, big discoveries! 🎨 At Gutman, our young artists explored color through handprint art, creating with paint while strengthening hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, and color recognition. These creative experiences build the fine motor and cognitive skills that form a strong foundation for early learning, all while making every masterpiece uniquely their own.

Let's splash into learning!

Our curious young learners put their thinking skills to the test with a sink and float STEAM experiment, exploring which objects floated, which sank, and why. As they made predictions, tested their ideas, and observed the results, they discovered how water interacts with different materials through hands-on learning.

Activities like these nurture curiosity, encourage critical thinking, and introduce children to scientific exploration in a fun, age-appropriate way. 💧💜

This past Tuesday's Art Party was filled with creativity, color, and joyful learning! Through hand painting and a collaborative art project, children explored self-expression, developed fine motor skills, and discovered how art encourages imagination, confidence, and early cognitive growth. Every colorful handprint tells a story of learning through play. 🎨

Our Field Day ended with the perfect finale: A foam party filled with laughter, fun, and a chance to cool off together! After a day of teamwork, friendly competition, and active play, our young learners celebrated with an unforgettable afternoon of foam-filled excitement.

More than just a fun ending, the foam party gave children another opportunity to build friendships, celebrate their accomplishments, and create lasting memories in a joyful, inclusive environment.

Recently, our young learners enjoyed a memorable Field Day filled with teamwork, laughter, and active fun! They stayed cool while working together in teams and participating in a variety of exciting sports and activities.

More important than crossing the finish line first, they built friendships, encouraged one another, and experienced the joy of working together. These moments help develop communication, confidence, respect, and resilience, skills that support success both in and out of the classroom.

Happy Fourth of July from all of us at Gutman!

We hope you enjoy a safe and joyful Fourth of July surrounded by family, friends, and community. Whether you're celebrating with fireworks, a cookout, or a quiet summer evening, we wish you a day filled with connection and meaningful moments.

Sunshine, splashes, and smiling faces made for the perfect first pool day! ☀️💦 Our young learners had an amazing time cooling off, playing with friends, and making the most of a day filled with laughter and excitement.

Pool days offer more than just a chance to beat the heat; they encourage children to build confidence, strengthen gross motor skills, improve coordination, and develop important social skills through cooperative play. Every splash, shared laugh, and new experience helps create lasting memories while supporting healthy growth and development.

☀️ Today is extra special! Not only are we celebrating Father’s Day, but we’re also welcoming the first day of summer!

As we honor the fathers and father figures who help guide, support, and inspire the next generation, we’re also looking ahead to a season filled with sunshine, growth, laughter, and new memories. There’s something beautiful about celebrating the people who help children bloom on the very day summer begins.

Today, we celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, mentors, and father figures who help shape the future leaders of tomorrow through their love, guidance, strength, and support.

At FELS, we recognize the important role fathers play in a child’s growth and development. The lessons you teach, the encouragement you give, and the presence you provide leave a lasting impact that reaches far beyond today.

While Father’s Day gives us a special opportunity to honor you, please know that your dedication and influence are appreciated every single day. From all of us at FELS, we wish you a joyful, peaceful, and Happy Father’s Day. 💙💜
