A huge thank you to Anderson City Utilities and the three utilities workers who saved our day. Two birds decided they wanted to make a ruckus this morning, taking out power to our 29th Street building. In to save the day was Zach Konkle, Shayne Brown, John Binda! Thank you gentlemen for working quickly and efficiently! #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight (but not on a power line next time, please.)

Before the school year begins, our Launch Pad team has been hard at work learning, collaborating, and experiencing the Reggio Emilia approach firsthand. Through hands-on training, reflection, and exploration, our teachers are preparing thoughtful environments and meaningful experiences that will inspire curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning from day one. We're excited to welcome another year of young learners into a program where children are seen as capable, families are valued as partners, and learning grows through play, discovery, and relationships. If you're looking for a preschool that nurtures curiosity while building a strong foundation for kindergarten and beyond, we'd love to connect with your family. Learn more and complete our interest form at goapa.org/page/apa-launch-pad. Tuition is $150 per child, per week, and we proudly accept CCDF. We're excited for another year of watching our youngest learners take flight! #WhereEarlyLearningTakesFlight

The traveling EuroJets have been busy wrapping up an incredible adventure! Our last stops took us through Burgundy and Paris, where we explored some of France’s most iconic sights. Highlights included visiting Notre-Dame Cathedral, taking a nighttime cruise along the Seine River, heading to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and even having at least one brave Jet try escargot! To finish the trip, the group whisked through the Chunnel from Paris to the London, where they spent time sightseeing, shopping, and learning to navigate London’s Underground. After 15 unforgettable days, 7 countries, countless memories, and experiences that will last a lifetime, our EuroJets are headed home. What an incredible adventure! #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight
