*TIME* Sensitive (Pun Intended)

Take the opportunity this weekend when the time changes to teach your child about clocks and how to tell time! Whether you have a wall clock or digital clock, there’s something exciting about a little one being able to read a clock by themselves. Begin by learning to read the hours, followed by half hours.

Sorry for the delay…

It’s been quiet here at Sonbeams the past week, and if you’ll please bear with me a little while longer, hopefully I can get back  soon. Last week we celebrated our son’s 4th birthday – making and erupting a volcano for his special day. BTW – you can find some really neat science experiments that [...]

Teaching Your Preschooler At Home – A Look Into Sonbeams

After sharing so many wonderful homeschool options over this past summer, I thought that it might be nice to give you a little closer look into what we offer here at Sonbeams. The first impression by some might be to think that Sonbeams is just homeschool preschool, but that’s really not all we are. Our [...]

Crafty Fun With Scissors!

Scissors and child… these two words used in the same sentence TERRIFY me at times! I try not to let my fears (i.e. – experience from having cut hair, cut clothes, cut bedsheets….) keep me from letting the kiddos use scissors too much.
