May at KPLA: Honoring Growth, Gratitude, and New Beginnings🌷🎓💛

May is a time of meaningful moments—from celebrating the mothers who nurture us to recognizing the achievements of our growing learners. At KPLA, we cherish every chance to pause, reflect, and look forward together. This month is full of celebration, cultural learning, and exciting preparations for what’s ahead!

Celebrating the Heart of the Home: Happy Mother’s Day

🌸👩‍👧‍👦💖

To every mother, grandmother, and nurturing figure in a child’s life—thank you. Your love, strength, and daily sacrifices shape the future.

Meaningful Ways to Celebrate:

✍️ Write from the Heart: Help children create thank-you cards or drawings.
🫙 Create a Memory Jar: Add notes, photos, and sweet moments to revisit over time.
🧺 Enjoy Simple Moments: Whether it’s a picnic, a story time snuggle, or a walk, presence matters most.
📚 Read Together: Choose books that celebrate moms and caregivers, then talk about what makes each one special.

💡 Tip for Parents: When we model gratitude and love, our children learn how to express it too. Take time this month to notice and name the small joys.

From all of us at KPLA, Happy Mother’s Day! 💐

Celebrate with Your Child:

✂️ Make Papel Picado: Traditional paper decorations that brighten any room!
🥑 Try a New Dish Together: Make guacamole, tacos, or quesadillas and talk about the ingredients.
🎶 Listen and Move: Dance to mariachi or folk music while learning about its roots.

🌍 Celebrating culture helps children grow into open-minded, respectful learners. At KPLA, we believe in teaching through experience and exploration.

Words to Grow By

🌱📖✨

“You can fail at what you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.” – Jim Carrey

This quote reminds us—and our children—to lead with passion and courage. Whether it’s a big decision or a small daily choice, love-driven actions are always worth it.

At KPLA, we empower every child to explore, discover, and grow in ways that feel authentic

to whom they are.
